Articulated caterpillar links for accurate Panther modelling

The Tamiya 12665 articulated caterpillar set enables modellers to increase the realism of 1/35 German Panther Ausf.D kits by fitting articulated link tracks. Aimed at builders who value authenticity, the set reproduces the Panther's track characteristics for a convincing finished model.

Texture and construction details

These links are modelled to reflect the Panther Ausf.D track profile, combining snap-fit link sections with centre guide pieces that require cement. The assembly method keeps construction straightforward while delivering defined surface texture ready for paint and weathering.

Intended compatibility and fitment

This detail set is intended for use with Tamiya Item 35345, the 1/35 scale German Panther Ausf.D kit. Fitting these articulated tracks gives a closer representation of the vehicle's drivetrain and track geometry as seen on wartime examples.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Cement required for centre guides, links snap together
  • Compatibility: Tamiya Item 35345
Some trimming of the sprue gates will be needed. Clean up each link with a file or fine sandpaper to ensure smooth connection and correct seating on the wheels.
Use a small applicator or needle to apply plastic cement sparingly to the centre guide joints. Wipe away any excess before it sets to keep link surfaces clean for painting.
It is generally easier to complete suspension assembly first, then fit the tracks. This allows correct alignment and reduces the risk of stress on link joints during installation.
