Does anyone know where I can pick up some track links from and a retention bar. I picked up a set for my Tiger 1 build, it came with metal tracks and a metal retention bar but I cannot for the life of me remember where I picked it up from. Anyone have any suggestions. I am also toying with the idea of sanding off all the tools and the moulded in treadplate and then adding photo etch treadplate and all the tools. At this moment I am just toying with the idea as it would be a huge amount of work. Thoughts, Ideas, should I just say screw it, throw the wallet to the dog and just go for the utter madness?

Figure out exactly how many links you need. Of course, you could just buy the winter PIV and it would come with enough spare links for both tanks. @) @)

I have a run of PzIV track-metal, that I only have for spare hull sections.
Have a look at how many sections you need, I might have enough.
You could always do the one that was covered in T34 track !! I will try find the picture.

Yeah it’s a pretty well known picture.
I came close to doing one but decided to go with a Malta Invasion version.
