I know an RTR from the tank regiment who was at AVBRO during the restoration work on Tiger 131 and amongst other tasks he was given the job of making some spare track links for the Tiger, it seems he miscounted and made one too many this he kept for himself a few years latter it ended up in my collection, I keep looking around for one from a Panther or Tiger II but you just don’t see them advertised anywhere

I've seen some Panzer links come up on ebay occasionally. They keep getting dug up in the old Soviet block. Im sure some of the militaria collectors might be able to source them. It looks incredibly real! Im impressed with the job he did. Id love to work on the full size thing.

Cheers,
Rik

It was cast from a real late link and has all the same dimensions I would make a mould and cast some more but the cost of materials would be very expensive

Now that would depend on how many people you could find who are interested. Im sure quite a few would be.

Who could resist a full size Tiger track link?
