Anywhere they wouldn’t fall off, probably If you’re aiming for a generic vehicle rather than trying to model a specific one, you could do something like make a rack for jerrycans along one of the hull sides and put a spare wheel in that as well, for example. Another would be to lay a wheel flat on the mudguard, held by a bracket between the bow machine gun and driver’s visor, or to have a longer length of spare track on the hull front than will fit there, so it hangs in an arc, with one or two spare wheels between the track and the hull.usually in a rack on the side, but I'm doing a desert version, so where to put the extras which would be needed for the conditions in North Africa?

you’ll probably find lots of inspiration. Just be aware that you use pictures of long-barreled PzKpfw IVs, since the short-barreled ones often differed from them in this kind of stowage.I almost invariably paint tyres in two goes: half the wheel at a time.wait till you have to paint the rubber portions. The Italeri kit doesn't give poly caps I think so you might have to poke cocktail sticks into the hub and use that as leverage to twist as you brush paint in the rubber lining. Of course the other option is to paint it all rubber and then use a circular template of the right size and spray on the body colour.
Half the width or half the circumference?I almost invariably paint tyres in two goes: half the wheel at a time.
True, I included it mainly because it shows (more or less) what I meant by the length of track on the front plate with a wheel behind it.Jakko, great pictures, certainly gives me some ideas, the middle one may be a bit extreme!
