I’m building Dragon’s Jagdpather kit #6245. Does anyone out there know the appropriate number of track links per side?
On a real one it’s 86.
When it comes down to it, you should remain flexible on what looks right – if it seems too tight, add one. Too loose, then remove one. If you find a contest judge counting your links, then rip his esophagus out right at the table!
As many as it takes. As T26E4 says above, it varies. Models very rarely have the same # as on the actual vehicle due to scale and the molding process, etc.
As it tiurns out, 86 gave me a decent sag. I wasn’t concerned about perfectionism, just a rough idea how many to get the sag right. Thanks for the tip.
Does that mean I get to keep my esophagus? [;)]
