Simple generalisation is that British and Russian vehicles have their drive sprockets next to the engine, German and US ones at the opposite end. So normally the Brits and Ruskie will be at the rear, US and German at the rear. Almost all modern vehicles have rear drive sprockets, unless front engine.

Not so noticeable, but the tracks are the wrong way around on the A30 Challenger too.

:]] time for Leon.  :(

I'm not so sure on that, this one is a single piece hull casting, so no separate tracks.  The track/mud guard at the front should be angled more sharply with the point at the centre of the front drive wheel.  Then the rear guard should be angled less sharply, with the point being behind the rear sprocket.  There may be a small issue with the model itself, where the front drive and rear sprocket wheels are the same size/shape rather than being visibly different, but I think the tracks are OK?

Fair enough. You can't see the front wheel in the painted example, so hard to tell anyway. And the mudguards look OK. It's probably because I expected the rear sprocket to be toothed and a tad larger. Hence my confusion.  :-[

So, there's another another five minutes of unnecessary Googling you won't get back. Nice picture though.  :)

Yeah, that's a well placed piece of grass over that front wheel!
