Tamiya 12665 Panther Ausf.D Articulated Track Link Set - Detail Upgrade for 1/35 Military Models  [12665]

Articulated caterpillar links for Panther Ausf.D modelling

The Tamiya 12665 articulated caterpillar set helps modellers add authentic track detail to 1/35 German Panther Ausf.D kits. Made for those who want historically faithful finishes, this set recreates the look of the Panther's track run with accurate link geometry. It complements the kit's suspension and road wheel layout when installed correctly.

Link construction and finishing

These parts replicate the Panther Ausf.D track links, offering snap-fit elements plus centre guides that need cementing for security. The mix of snap and glued joints speeds up assembly while keeping a robust final track. The design supports realistic sag and alignment when mounted.

Compatibility notes and recommended use

Designed to pair with Tamiya Item 35345, the 1/35 German Panther Ausf.D kit, this detail set is intended to replace the kit tracks with an articulated alternative for greater realism. Builders can expect a close visual match to the original vehicle's running gear.
