Test shots of resin parts

Comments and test shots by Christian Weber

I was lucky to get one of the first test shots of the injection moulded track sets for PzKpfWg III/IV from Maco. Here the first one (Ostkette) assembled on a Revell-Hummel. The test-shots are very good in my opinion, although there are a few missed links, whitch will be corrected for serial production. I assembled the right side of the running gear by gluing part after part, using the single track-links for the places the track lays around the idler and sprocket wheel.
For the left side I decided to glue all the tracks together, and BEND them around sprocket and idler. My opinion: This is the best way! I had to cut the teeth of the sprocket, but everything else went fantastic, it is fast and with no complication. You see on the pics some "white lines" on the parts of the tracks, where the bending points are. I think, after painting this will be looking very well.

Ostkette

These are the Wintertracks, once again I've decided to bend them around sprocket and idler wheels, what worked very well. Please remember that this is the pre-series sprue, Maco is still working about it to make the quality better. Like You can see on the pics, some of the track links seem to be broken, but this is just a matter of sprue producing, the serial ones will be much better I guess.
