Very nice results from that old kit! I know how much of a beast it can be to get looking right.
This picture shows how the tracks lay, even though this is a Bergpanther they are the same:
Note that the track don't contact the wheels until the third set.
I noticed that you have no spare track! I think I have some leftover Fruilmodel track links if you are interested. I'll check and let you know on Tuesday.
