Winterkette Type 3 w. ice cleats in 1/35th scale for Panzer III and Panzer IV

cults3d

Workable track for 1/35th scale models. This is a Winterkette based on the Type 3B standard link. It was produced from Autumn 1942 on. This is variant 2, it has additional ice cleats on the surface making contact with the road. This is a very accurate recreation of this track link. I do own an original Type 5B and 3A, I 3d-scanned and used it for reference for guide horn and core geometry, for the Winterketten-part I obtained data through a collector. There are 3 options for joining the links together: 1st. I've included printable pins in full or half length. 2nd option is a click system that doesn't require any pins. Fair warning, it does highly depend on how well you dial your exposure and post cure process in. 3rd option: The traditional wire method, just use copper motor core wire around 0.3 to 0.4mm diameter. It is easiest method, specially for older printers and standard resins. Links are included blank and pre-supported (cad designed supports): Pins are included blank, pre-supported and as a pattern of 100 in both "head-up" and "head-down" variants.
