Maco will release a Track set for PzKpfWg III and IV including a complete set of Ostketten and a complete set of Winterketten, wich will able to build any P.III or P.IV inclusive Hummels/Nashorn with these tracks. They will be moulded from plastic(no short-run!!!) in high quality (like the SWS tracks). I just have the 3D print made of resin, and I am very impessed by the quality, witch will be much higher in plastic.
I tested the Ostkette on different driving wheels from different manufacturers.
Here it is on Dragons P.IV, the tracks fit with minor rework:
This is Dragons StuG III chassis with its driving wheel; it works with a little more extra work:
Next I bend the tracks of the Revell P.III/Hummel running gear... and it fits perfect! I know, what my next Hummel will look like...
Just for fun I tested the wheel from HobbyBoss' Munischlepper, but this test failed: the tooth of it seemed to be to different in comparison with the other manufacturers.
Finally I bring the tracks on Trumpeters Brummbär(here I need help, is the driving wheel similar to the Trumpy Jagdpanzer/StuG IV ones?), and it works well with a little extra work on the tooths:
And here the bad news: the track sets will come only as a limited edition, so hurry up guys...
Cheers
Christian
