Link-by-link articulated track kit for Panther Ausf.D

The Tamiya 12665 articulated caterpillar set provides modellers a way to replace the kit tracks on 1/35 German Panther Ausf.D models with individual link parts for a hands-on build. Suited to hobbyists seeking close visual fidelity, this set emphasises the tank's authentic track profile and construction.

Detailing and assembly approach

Engineered to mirror the original Panther track links, the set includes snap-together components plus centre guide pieces that must be cemented. The combination makes construction manageable while delivering crisp track detail that stands up to weathering and handling.

Kit match and installation

Specifically made for use with Tamiya Item 35345, the 1/35 German Panther Ausf.D kit, these articulated tracks let builders better represent the vehicle's running gear and functional appearance from WWII era photos and references.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Cement required for centre guides, snap-together link sections
  • Compatibility: Tamiya Item 35345

Are the links sturdy once assembled?

Yes. When centre guides are cemented and links are correctly engaged, the track run becomes robust and suitable for display models that may be handled during detailing and painting.

Will I need to adjust sprocket or idler positions?

Minor alignment checks are recommended. Ensure sprockets and idlers on the kit are clean and square so the articulated track seats correctly without binding.

Can I add weathering before fitting the tracks?

You can pre-paint or partially weather links on the sprue, but final weathering after installation often gives the most convincing results where the track contacts wheels and suspension.
