I wonder if the hole is something to do with the casting process??
I was thinking that too first but a hole in the cog would make it weaker so I think they must've had a very good reason for putting it there...?
I've only found the hole in the drive sprockets for Ausf. A, not the later ones, but that could also be due to other factors and the wrong.
I found a picture of one leaning against a wall. I've saved the picture but I don't know how to do links.
But a hole there is, for sure!
Yes, a hole there is. On both the inner and the outer sprocket rings. Why is the conundrum of the week...?
There's a whole lot more than just putting plastic pieces together in modelling for sure and I like it!!!
I'm no "rivet counter", or at least I don't think I am, but finding tiny unknown details like this I find intriguing and exciting - and it makes the whole "building" part a mystery quest too and hopefully finding the solution!
This hole isn't exactly stopping me but I admit to spending the night searching for answers instead of gluing the guide horns to the track links... :smirk:
Many thanks to all of you for helping me (re-)searching this mystery hole so far!
