Panther Tracks "Direction" Question

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

I am getting ready to shoe my Panther, and the DML directions for the “magic” tracks are puzzling if not downright ambiguous. I am having trouble determining the “direction” of the tracks. The instructions just show them assembled, from the side, so I can’t correlate whcih way is front versus back, and I’d rather look ignorant now than show off the permanently glued tracks incorrectly.

Thanks in advance.

ETA, the Littlefield Panther appears to show the portion that contacts the ground at the rear of the link. Is this clear, or correct?

Even further ETA: It apears that if you look at the ridges on the contact portions of the tracks, looking at the front of the tank, the ridges describe a series of "V"s, right?

If looking at a track link from the front, the cleat pattern should be “/ /\ /”

Hope this helps

This might help you Bill, note the direction of the little triangles on the track faces and how they point down. That, together with how Roy described the ice cleats, should give you enough to go by.
