My latest purchases of whole tanks, very happy with both . The Germans have something to worry about.

I know about my signature and I've pre ordered a IS-2 and considering a KV-2 as well!, but there is another King Tiger in it's way too.......

Where did you get that winter tracks for the PzIII?

The tracks are normal but they are wider than the standard tracks of the PzIII which are too narrow to run offroad for me. I'm sending out inquiry for quotation...

Those look like normal tracks, but the picture makes them look wider.
Winterketten are the early winter tracks, used for snowy conditions then changed as the season required, Ostketten are the later ones which could be left on all year round.
I will find a picture comparing them.

This explains the difference..........

Found these winter tracks on Taobao, it costs 300 rmb. As the rmb is becoming weaker to the USD, it roughly translates into US$43. I'm not going to buy it yet because my PzIII is having throwing tracks problem not solved. I think the main cause is weak suspension. Mato PzIII has torsion bar suspension but just too weak.

They came on the tank so can't offer any info
