I found a new set of tracks for Gunther, so I took these off...
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)

Yup they do.

Interesting part: right side of the photo, lower half, you can still spot some chevrons, even those wear like the real tracks, slightly uneven depending on what side of the vehicle they were mounted.

Yes they certainly are.
The tanks Ive seen in real life can almost be life-gauged like tree rings by the wear on the tracks.
Yours is no different.

Changed the front a little, more green and added some brown.
