What’s included in June’s stl Package?
500mm Tiger (P) track.
This track type was used only on the concept vehicle presented to “a person I won’t name” in April ’42. So far the vehicle can be build by converting some features from Ilateri’s or Amusing Hobby Tiger P. (Designed using factory drawings)
Panzer I Ausf. F track
This vehicle is currently available in two Versions by HobbyBoss and one by Ark Model. Both brands are in need of replacement tracks. Here they are! (Designed based on collector data)
Panzer III / IV Type 1 Family.
This is the Type 1 with the pre-war specific Panzer III guide horn. I’ve not yet released this Version on patreon previously. It comes with cast markings – at least the part I was able to identify. They are made to fit bot Bronco and Miniart. Using Panzer Tracs 3-1 it can be seen on Panzer III A-D including Ausf. D/B. Ausf. D1 I’ve seen using both: These and the standard pattern.
Type 1 short Guidehorn.
This variant was used on early Panzer IV Ausf.A-C.
This is a re-release, coming with a facelift: I’ve added cast markings and updated the track pins.
Type 1 standard pattern:
this variant was used on the Panzer III Ausf. E-G and their variants including StuG 0-Series and both Ausf. A. For the Panzer IV it’s Ausf. D to E. This variant is compatible with the ones above, often times you can see them mixed together.
This is a re-release coming with a facelift: I’ve added cast markings and updated the track pins.
Type 1 with Schneegreifer.
Another world’s first release in 1/35th! Schneegreifer (Snow Gripper) are two-piece addons screwed together over the grocer bar of a Type 1 track link. They greatly improve traction on iced over surfaces. However, they were not issued widely and are only rarely documented. I chose to deliver them fused to a Standard Pattern Type 1 track because it would be too delicate to print them as stand-alone items. I’d recommend do spread them out, maybe irregular every 3 to 4 links.
Type 6 Winterketten Family:
Type 6 Winterketten with ice cleats:
This is an unaltered re-release for Jan. ’23 added to keep the family together.
Type 6 Winterketten without ice cleats:
This subvariant was produced without chevrons on the grocer bar. I’ve not yet released this variant previously.
Irregular content explained!
I had extensive repairs to my printers earlier in May and spare part delivery was delayed.
This threw my production plan off for June forcing me to switch to pre-prepared content instead.
I hope this release still does meet your demand. The problems are fixed and next month I continue with the roadmap and have a preview up in time.
