Hi –
Will be building this very familiar Panzer shortly and wanted to see if anyone could weigh in on the ‘missing road wheel’ debate – basically it has been photographed upon capture missing a front left /port roadwheel – a picture from the right/starboard appears to show all roadwheels present:
Dragon kit 6820 instructs the missing roadwheet for both sides –
I appreciate any input here

Looking at photos in the linked article, they all show the forward road wheel on the right side in place, so I would go with that. But some even show the forward left roadwheel in place as well…. I might just go with full sets on both sides unless you plan on depicting the tank as in the particular photos of immediately after capture with that wheel missing.
Thanks ! - I’m am weighing ‘just captured’ with the front port roadwheel missing , however I may be obligated to replicate the damage the 48th Royal Tank Regiment performed on it as well
Regards,

This is a correction to my earlier post. The Tank Museum’s Tiger 131 Calendar 2026 clearly shows the left front road is missing and that the right front road wheel is there.
Here are the pictures of Tiger 131, that I referred to. The captions indicate that they were taken after its capture. There is a picture of the damage. Happy modeling.
