Just wanted to mention that I received some Battlegroundmodels items for Christmas.
https://www.battlegroundmodels.com/shop-1

Great stuff Grunt! Doors (4 sets) for the Indy Troop Car, a set of road wheels for the Tiger I and
Feifel Air Filter System for Tiger I, Panzer IV Bogie Wheel Caps and a few more items!

If you guys are doing customs check out Grunts site.

Hey Grunt I just saw the Panther Tank Track Links - Spares

https://www.battlegroundmodels.com/prod ... nks-spares

These links snap together like on your Panzer I ? If they do I'm going to have to figure out how many
make up a full set (both sides) for one Panther. Oh man I got a shit load of Panthers. :shock:

They snap. I’m working on a way to get the cost down for a full set. The big tanks had a lot of tracks and the cost jumps up very quickly.

Grunt I tried to figure out how many links it would take per side, using the
extra tracks that came with the 21st Panther.
I come up with 86 links per side, or 172 total. So that's about $130
per tank.

The snap together links would give these 21st models an entire new look.
The Panzer your doing now looks amazing and the tracks make it more realistic.

I just saw this .
I will definitely get quiet a few of these when I get back on my Jagdpanther consignments.
Kirk Douglas : Mine hit the ground first
John Wayne : Mine was taller

BattleGround has got full sets of Panther tracks on their site...

https://www.battlegroundmodels.com/prod ... s-full-set

These are individual snap together links which will make two full tracks...left side right side.
They change the look of 21st's Panther, into more model than toy. I have a few sets of Grunt's
tracks and its amazing how different these tanks look. Well Done Pat!!
