Tamiya 1/16 jagdpanther sprocket wheel and mato metal track seem to be compatible

Post by yongho »

Last week, I got jagdpanther only one left in stock from Tamiya in my country.

I installed the sprocket wheel on the mato metal track, and it seems compatible like pictures.

It's still before assembling the jagdpanther, so I held the driving part of the sprocket wheel with my thumb and index finger and turned it round and round, It's a good match

So far, so good, yongho! Just a suggestion: maybe you could turn this into a "build" with photos of your progress, successes, frustrations, and questions all in one thread. I have never had a Tamiya 1/16 tank, so I would be interested. (Herman Bix or Kaczor could probably help you move the posts to viewforum.php?f=160).

The taigen/torro also works but you need to narrow the teeth on the outer faces slightly
