I'm build an old stug that does not have "Continental" embossed on it. Is there an am option?

I know Komedap Zip produced a wheel set for the Stug, not sure if it has the embossed writing moulded in though.

"Komplect" not "Komedap".

Yes, I know it's not actually called "Komedap Zip", that was the closest I could spell the word

I assumed from your 'No longer exists' response that you had worked out that it was a typo. Had you said 'Never heard of them, who is that?' or similar, I would have assumed that you had not done so. Anyway, we got there in the end so all good😀

Since I could not locate it, I assumed Komplect had closed down. However, I was treated to some Polish jazz(Komedap Zip).

By the by, the is no script on Komeplect's wheels. I am thinking of order some Archer letters and applying them to the road wheels.

Sorry, wasn't aware that they had no lettering, as I'm pretty tolerant of a lack of lettering on solid tyres so their absence would not be enough for me to buy a replacement set. To be honest I'm full of admiration for anyone who even considers applying a dozen instances (plus spares) of 'Contenental' to a set of roadwheels in 1/35 (and I don't think Woody makes pre-prepared sets) because I'm not convinced that the results would justify the time spent but it's your hobby....

I can think of many areas of a model which would offer me a far better return on my limited time as I do try to restrain my perfectionist tendencies sometimes.
