    Default Panther V track link.

    Hello again,
    Now i have the right forum i thought i would post some more pic's from my armour collection.This is my Panther link i brought over from a dealer in Poland.It's a heavy beast and weigh's in at 21.4 kilo's so imagine how heavy 92 a side would be all linked together! It was said to have come from a German scrapyard that cut up Tank's after the war.I do have some pic's of the yard and will post a seperate thread for those.I have also included some pic's of 2 Panther's in current display.The horrid white Ausf.G is Aberdeen (amazing that this one still has some spare link's considering what they are worth these day's!) and the Ausf. A with zimmerit is Samur in France and is a goer. (Verlinden released a book on this one in full detail) That one show's good Track detail for comparison. Enjoy

    The price for a new one that was on e-bay was 1,000 euro. There were 5 brand new that were for sale................

    Hi Tom

    yes nice asset you got there ........btw its only 86 links per side on a panther , still a heavy load to rotate

    I 've gathered already 12 of these heavyloads, but still looking for more
    I want to make a tracklenght to put around my pantherwheels

    ciao

    Thank's bullit,
    Must have been another Tank like the Tiger that had 92.I build model's in 1/35th scale so maybe that's where the figure came from.They are getting harder to get now and i am envious that you have Panther wheel's
    Love to see some pic's of your display

    Hi Tom,

    The display isn,'t ready yet ( due to lack of tracklinks ) but the wheels are there ...11 to be exact

    To fix the wheels properly to one another, I need to find some more parts like the inner tubes, hubcabs etc ...In due time I 'll find these hopefully

    Here are some of my wheels, and links .......they all need to be restored, cleaned up or have to be repainted.

    ciao

    Fantastic item's!
    Wish i could have that much over here.I would gladly sell you my link but postage from over here would be enormous! Worthwhile finding the rest of the part's you need though and can't wait to see it when completed.Nice job on the cammo paint on your finished wheel too
    Many thank's for sharing

    Hi Tom,

    Yeah postage is always a killer for such heavy iron
    All we need is some patience and it 'll come buy one way or the other ...lots of these things are excavated nowadays.
    the other parts are less easy to find since nobody supsects it beeing military at first sight...its merely a tube with a flange

    The camo on the wheel was done by the previous owner ...as you said nicely done and eye catching....but in reality wheels weren't camouflaged as a standard. just imaging a big wheel like that in sandgelb with some green and redbrown stripes .......and then make it roll
    instead of concealement it will be very prominent from a distance camo is great of fixed items but not on rotating wheels. only a subtile mottling could be affective.
    A good standard camo on wheels is to paint it entirely in the same color ( cfr the jagdpanther (Gibb/BWB Koblenz) that has red oxid primer , brown, green and /or sandyellow wheels )
    secondly it wouldn't pay off to make dazzling camojobs on wheels since once your drive through the dirt the entire drivetrain gets the color of mother earth

    ciao
