Is it a Hetzer/ Panzer 38T track?

Yes it is. It is a little distorted because as soon as I sprayed it with primer I put my big fingers on it. I have resanded it and it looks a lot better. I need to put some ribs on the very outside of the tang thingys . This is one tiny track . I used my glasses and a magno light to see and I was still crossed eyed. That is another reason why I love 1/18 I CAN SEE IT !!!!!

Here is the real thing

I think it is close. Except the duck bill things left side right side. They need strengthening ribs. I will put them on.

Thanks.

I am working on this as a side project so it may take a little while.

I look forward to seeing whatever you are building on that chassis.

Okay, I wanna take bets as to who will release their armor first...21st with their King Tiger, or PH with his Hetzer....

But that is freaking awesome! Will it have individual track links?

This will be done but it is not priority. I need to get those built P-36's out and get started on that Tony. If I take deposits on the Tony I would have about 10 sold already. I kind of wanted to get away from planes a little. I do love armor as well. The only thing getting in the way is work. But I need to pay the bills and that kind of thing.
What I will do is cast a few then link them together and cast those. I think there are 75 to 85 links to a track. That would be a major pain to cast then singley and put them together. If I could cast a whole length at one time that would be the ticket.
There are also 3 links on the back and I think 7 on top for extra track storage. Those would be a given.

Oh dear god... the solution to my Marder... PH... I love you...

Hey Pickel,
Is the Track system on a early and late version Hetzer different? My Molds are Different from yours, 21st century Hetzer and Marder have the same system like the one’s I have made and the one’s in My Armor Models and Tanks in Detail Reference Books, BUT I have also seen the system in your Reference photos, Was there 2 different track systems? I hope I haven’t wasted a lot of time.

guys you can use rubber bands for the tracks, for all i care.....just make the Hetzer!

My sentiments exactly!

Hey Hun,
I think that you and me need to put these tracks together and then we may have something. I thought you were going to do the wheels anyway. Let's just throw them away and forget about XD. Everybody says it is dead anyway

thehun · Post by **thehun** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 9:12 pm

Pickel,

I know the tracks on a panzer and Hetzer are different, but i Ain't gonna mold 200 of these little links and pin them together,This would be more than i could bear, Besides I pulled my hair out just making these two links and they ain't even right, To much work has gone into the Hetzer to quit now, Would using a panzer track be that far off, i could cover them up with skrits, It's just a idea, Any of you guy's got any input on this subject,

PS,
Pickel,
Lower hull is all your's----I'll do the top

------you do the bottom

(Long live Robert E Lee and all he stood far)

Well after talking with pickelhaub yesterday, He showed me the error of my ways, He has a great idea about how to do the tracks, which is a lot better than my idea, So i'll stand down on the wheels and tracks, and work on the Hull
