3 or 4 return rollers:
Some rivet counters might say that the Ausf. J had only three return rollers and not four. They will also say that the return rollers and road wheels were all steel types (no rubber). They would be correct, but not fully. The early Ausf. Js had four return rollers, and both the return rollers and road wheels had rubber. This means Sprue A works for this set.

There are several variations of the Ausf J in production towards the end of the war and we are quite aware of this.  We had specifically chosen the one with 4 return rollers so that we don't have to create a set roadwheel for the Ausf J.  ;)
