Panther Tracks
Posted by Tanker45 on Tuesday, July 19, 2016 7:03 AM

Hello,

 

Another question for anyone.  I have a Tamiya Panther Ausf. A, kit 35065, and want to replace the vinyl tracks that came with it.  What Friulmodel kit would fit?

Thank you,

Matt

It's up to you, but seriously, it isn't really worth the money or effort to upgrade the tracks on this particular kit. Friul tracks will certainly look prettier, but there is no way to disguise those huge channels in the hull pan which carry the axles for the first and last sets of road wheels.

A fair point.  The kit seems kinda cheap but the vinyl tracks don't seem to fit properly.

Thank you for the feedback!  I agree this kit is very poor.  I'll try searching for vinyl tracks outside the kit.
