I agree with Matthew, the tracks look great. I'd love to see snap together tracks
for 21st's 1:18 line of armor...US and German. Well Done Grunt!
Love the Kit also!

Thank you for the positive feedback everyone! Some requested a photo of the tracks installed so here you go. Note that the Panzer I could run with either 87 or 88 links installed. I presume(?) this had to do with ground conditions, speed, traction desired, etc. Anyway, this is with all 88 links.

:shock: WOW very impressive. :salute:

That's the look that would help make 21st's armor look more model than toy.
This is Matthews King Tiger with individual track links and pins.

Here’s an interesting variant one could make from Grunt1’s Panzer I: the Panzer I Ambulance utility vehicle.

The photo is of a 1/30 scale model and figures I recently purchased that are made by John Jenkins Designs.

Also, here is a video on how to put it together.
