The Czech tank was named the LT vz. 38 later but it was well known as the PzKpfw 38(t). Actually the vehicle didn't have the Christie suspension. The suspension of the tank consisted of four road wheels placed in pairs on a common elliptical spring, located at the rear of the idler wheel hull, and two wheels supporting the upper track of the track.

Deleted forward armament, under surface window arrangement, JU-188F. Now if only there had been a decal sheet for these. I have decals for the 188A,D, and E.

I've never seen a decal sheet for the 188F. I have my doubts that there was a sheet in 1/48 for the F model. My sheets are for the 188 A and D. I have a vacuform clear nose to convert one of my DML 188Es into a D. The sheets also include decals for my 1/48 Revell DO217 kits. The rest of the 188E to D conversion will come from my JU88G-1/ G-10 kit. The 188D used the same engines as the 188A as well as the JU88G-10.
