Tank Tread Direction
Posted by pilotjohn on Tuesday, January 21, 2014 8:43 PM

All;

I am getting ready to add the tracks to the model before the final weathering, and I realized that they can go in two different directions.  In the image below you can see inside the red circle the trapezoidal shape.

When looking at the tank from the front, does the shorter length in the center section point down (as shown) or up?  Sorry if this is a silly question.

If looking at the tank from the front, your picture shows tracks that would need to be flipped.  Here's a close in picture of a JdPz IV with tracks engaging the front left sprocket
