This month I finally got the Panther tracks as a scan based version for you. (Panther II not included, that is a previous release.)
In Total 3 different track pins, 5 different track links and 2 versions of Mittelstollen.
Let's have a look at one of the sub-variants: the in...

What’s included in June’s stl Package?
500mm Tiger (P) track.
This track type was used only on the concept vehicle presented to “a person I won’t name” in April ’42. So far the vehicle can be build by converting some features from Ilateri’s or Amusing Hobby Tiger P. (Designed using factory drawings)

Here is the track catalog with commented release dates.
Goal for Q2: Completing the Panzer I family as well as the Tiger 1, both Henschel and Porsche
April Update is not fully rolled out yet.
This is a scheduled maintenance update to previous released contents in Q1 '23.
All of my designs are covered by updates for at least one year after release. This is necessary to ensure your feedback is taken into account and further developments/innovations of the overlaying track family are rolled out to previously released designs as well. I want you to have the best quality possi...
The 2nd slot of my "Rework & Reissue" release I have tracks for the R-35 chassis by Renault for you.
I have cleaned up all small surface transitions without changing any of the core geometry.
Supports have been cleaned up as well and pins got a small overhaul, now pre-supported in "heads up" orientation.
This track link is very small therefore, I stayed with resin pins as th...
The VK36.01 also known as "VK Sport" was one of the pathfinders leadings into the Tiger Tank. Only one chassis was produced, without a turret ever being finished. Half empty, light weight, yet with a powerful Maybach engine the vehicle was used for VIP's entertainment during the Tiger's trail and testing.
This track is a predecessor of the Tiger I's transport track. It features a forward ...

This is the transport Track for the Tiger I. Interessting, it is in its core almost identical to the combat track. The combat track being a extended version of this one. The transport track is bout 1cm less in height compared with the combat variant.
I've tested the fit with Dragon and RFM - should fit all modern toolings.
My first iteration of this track was done in May '21 in ...

The late Tiger are at least in 1/35th almost identical to the early track. In reality there is weight difference of a few kg. Unfortunatly this does not translate into any visual differences aside from the ice cleats or chevrons in 1/35th scale.
Fit was tested with RFM, Dragon and Tamiya. It should fit all modern toolings.
The late type was produced from January '44 on and would be ...

These are the tracks for the Tiger I - V1, Initial and Early.
You can build the early and mirrored pattern from this release (mirrored link included).
The design is based on the core I designed together with Adam Mann two years ago, now supplemented with 3d scans of both ends. (Well, the central section doesn't have enough features for the scanner to bite, the tank sitting on to...

This track type is the last iteration for the Ferdinad / Elefant chassis. This track type was issued to all vehicles during their factory refit in late '43, early '44. As a rule of thumb: whenever Zimmerit was present, use this type of track for your Elefant, Bergetiger or the Command-Tiger P "003".
There is one further use: A single Jagdtiger, used for R&D was fitted with these as well...
This is the late pattern track for the Ferdinand tank hunter.
It's different to the mid-pattern due to the curved link is now present with guide horn as well.
Renember, these track patterns were introduced very early into the service life of a Ferdinand, therefore, early-mid-late are more related to a modeler's mindset than to reality of tank production and supply.
Do not use thi...

Currently there are 3 kits available using this track type: Trumpeter's Sturer Emil and VK 30.01 H as well as the VK 30.01 P by HobbyBoss.
The designs are based on Porsche's factory drawings, unfortunatly Hobby Boss diverted from the 500mm track width making a stand-alone version nessesary.
Some of the links surviced at Kubnika on the Sturer Emil as well as within the hands of priva...

These are track links for the E-100 "series" of vehicles.
It's a new design tested to fit with Trumpeter's model kit range. Each track segment is made from one large bridge link and 3 small connection links. Therefore it was not possible for me to make relaiable wire and click-system hinges without subjecting you guys to a dog-chasing-its-tail experience while trying to assemble the...

This is the major or common type of tracks used during development of the Tiger (P). There was an initial design as well, requireing us to use different idler and drive sprockets (Scheduled for Q2 '23).
This package does build two patterns: At first the Tiger (P) was equipt with single type track links all around, each one having a guide horn.
It turned out to be less than ideal and...

This track pattern sees the introduction of a new secoundary link without guide horn. It's in its shape already very similar to the Elefant track pattern but still uses the early-style geometry at its core.
Use these for your post-Kursk Ferdinand builds and for the Bergetiger (P) while it was still at the factory's proofing ground. Do not use it if Zimmerit is present... This track patter...

This is one of 3 track patterns we can observe on the Ferdinand and some of its Variants as well as the Tiger P during Training with s.Pz.503. Its main feature is a newly produced link without guide horn. The link with guide horn is still the same used for the R&D patterns. While this is the earliest Pattern for the Ferdinand, the mid and late type are indtruduced very fluend and early! Mor...

This the only Porsche Tiger (with a turret) used in combat. It's chassis 150 013, a hydraulic Type 102. Only 10 chassis were to be build using the Voith hydraulic drive train, this one was using 2 Simmering motors.
The turret has the serial number 150 014, retrofitted with a escape hatch and built into a command version.
The vehicle was a path-finder stationed at Kummersdorf proofing grou...

Both Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. A & B were interwar developments and not much more than technical path-finders. Produced between 1936 and 1938 they were issued to the military and after rather short wartime deployment refitted and used for tr...
