Well, I tried to do some individual track links with Bronco's Hotchkiss H35. Gee whiz the things are the size of a gnat's toenail, I'm still not finished with the darn thing...

I know the SOUND that strikes fear in the toughest of men is the snap of a latex glove on a wrist . . .

This is/ was good....

There's a guy (Alex Clark?) doing a series of T72s that keep appearing in various mags, seems like he's making his own indies. That may be just enough to make a grown man weep. I know it scares the livin' bejeezus outta this one.

Imagine my excitement when I saw there were 6 responses.  Then imagine when I actually read them.

There are 1/72 scale aftermarket tracks out there, just not plentiful. CMK makes a set of vinyl Panzer IV tracks, Eduard, Part and ExtraTech make PE sets of tracks that work out to basically link & length tracks. I'm not sure of the range, but I know there are sets for the Revell Cromwell, Panzer III and Panzer IV.

There are also some resin track strips in 1/72, but I have not tried those. They look like too much work to remove from the pour stubs, heat & shape.

Yes, but smileys are fearless (not to mention ludicrous).

 Tiger II track in 1/72 isn't that much smaller than a Pz IV track in 1/35.

but are you crazy?

In the infamous words of Chris Jackson of College football lore: "Whoa Nelly".

That would seem like a tedious and frustrating task of assembling microscopic tracks in braille. Well, I don't think its' beyond you, but are you crazy? Big Smile
