Mystery-track piece?

Post by Marco Peter »

Hi there!

I like tracks! Lucky me - as an RC tanker. :-P

But actually, I really am more and more interested in tracks and the real ones. So yes I obviously own the excellent Panzerketten book.

Recently I got this mysterious piece of 1:16 RC track... And I just can't find out what it is?!?

1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Compared to Panther tracks (left) and Tiger 1 tracks (right).

Marco I've been looking at this for some time now and it appears to be a Mato part because of the thin track pins maybe thier version of a Panther track compared to the Taigen or Torro versions? I know my Mato Tiger I tracks are thinner and not as robust as my Taigen metal track links.
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Maybe a transport track link for a tiger I now that I've realized that the holes for the sprockets don't line upImage

Too funny it's really hard to figure out. I was almost certain I knew and then..... No idea. Did you just happen across these sections or do you have a full set? I'm sure someone on here knows the answer
Tanks alot.... :wave:

It looks a bit like a PZ3/4 track in design although I don't think it is,
Perhaps it is from a PZ2 it looks quite lightweight.
Shaun.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
