No, these are additional parts

The weather this weekend was really bad
Good for progress on the Panther II

Hello Jurgen,

A top drawer bit of modeling. Beautiful work!

Who is the manufacturer of the grouser/non-grouser tracks? And, where can they be purchased?

Schwerepanzer, I believe this Kenny Kong set is what he is using: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamiya-1-16-R-C ... 5h9Pt54rAQ They used to make an "A" and a "B" set; the only difference was whether both shoes had detail, or only one shoe, like this one does. Be advised that they are made to use with an 18-tooth drive sprocket, (they'll work with a 9-tooth one, but it will look wonky).
I wish someone would produce the wonderful rear idler that he made for this build; absolutely a work of art!

Hi,
yes, it should be Kenny Kong Tracks - come with the kit from Aeromate.

if you want,
I'll send you the drawing of Idler Wheel as DXF.
Send me a PM with you email address.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the info. Seems that Aeromate and Kenny Kong have symbiotic relationship in this magnificent bit of kit.

Thank you very much for the offer, but I would have no way of producing it. I have seen idler wheels for the E100 on Shapeways, and (if I remember correctly) they can be had in either plastic or stainless. If they ever make your Panther II idler; I will jump on it! Thank you again.

?Hi,

take the Panther II and the Digicam:

Wow that's excellent looking. how much does it weigh?

I have not yet weighed him
I guess 6 - 8 kg
