This is the late pattern track for the Ferdinand tank hunter.
It's different to the mid-pattern due to the curved link is now present with guide horn as well.
Renember, these track patterns were introduced very early into the service life of a Ferdinand, therefore, early-mid-late are more related to a modeler's mindset than to reality of tank production and supply.
Do not use this track type when Zimmerit is present! Use the Elefant track instead!
This design is based on factory drawings and carefull examination of photographs from the s.Pz.Jg.Rg 656 (former s.Pz.Jg.Abt 653) towards end of '43.
Designer's note: In March I've released the mid-pattern, the link with guide horn came up to me after March's content was already locked. I don't want early-bird members to miss out on this new-to-us variant, therefore it takes the "minor" slot within the section of April's release for both early-bird and standard tier members.
