They are good links. Keep 'em. One day you will get a Panzer III or Panzer IV (they used the same tracks, although there were early and late types of different widths) in your stash and will be able to use them. I used a set on on original Tamiya Panzer IIIN-I had to reduce the widths of the wheels a bit. But they were a huge improvement over the kit tracks.

I've used these tracks, and I have four more sets I plan to use. They beat some of the vinyl tracks.

I'd hang onto them, I have a set myself. Just in case you stumble upon an old Pz IV kit with one piece vinyl tracks and want to replace them. It's not like the tracks take up a lot of shelf space.

Academy 1/35 Panzer IV track set worth keeping?

   At a model show in my neck of the woods last month, a vendor gave me two sets of these Academy 1/35 individual track links for Panzer IV vehicles. It's kit no. 1357. I'm just getting into armor building, but I do have the skills to assemble these fairly trouble-free. I just wonder if I'll build enough German armor to justify keeping these on the shelf. So far all I've got on the shelf are a Sherman, some Soviet stuff and a Jadgdpanzer V. So while German armor may enter my stash someday, I don't see it in the near future. I guess my question is, would you keep these sets, or get rid of 'em?
