3D model description

Ostketten workable track in 1/35th scale for Panzer III and Panzer IV.

Single link workable tracks for 1/35th scale models.
This variant of Panzer III / IV track was produced from Mai 1944 onwards. It uses a Type 7 at its core but is one profile wider. This makes it stronger compared to Winterketten.

This one I designed around my 3d scanned Type 5B core, supplemented with Type 7 data I obtained from a museum vehicle, the side extension however is photo matched only.

Tested for fit on Dragon, old molds thatโ€™s Revel and Gunze for example and current production), Tamiya, Zvezda; It should fit all modern kits such as MiniArt and RFM. Italeri and ICM Iโ€™ve not tested yet.

There are 3 options for joining the links together:
1st. I've included printable pins in full or half length.
2nd option is a click system that doesn't require any pins. Fair warning, it does highly depend on how well you dial your exposure and post cure process in. This feature is experimental!
3rd option: The traditional wire method, just use copper motor core wire around 0.3 to 0.4mm diameter. It is the easiest method, especially for older printers and standard resins.

Links are included blank and pre-supported (cad designed supports): Pins are included blank, pre-supported and as a pattern of 100 in both "head-up" and "head-down" variants.
