Tracks for Geschützwagen VI 17cm K44 (Sf), 1/35 - Friulmodel ATL-092

The Friulmodel ATL-092 tracks are a set of metal link tracks to be assembled for reproducing the Geschützwagen VI 17 cm K44 (Sf) at a scale of 1/35. This detailing reference allows you to replace the tracks provided in a plastic kit with individual metal links.

1/35 scale articulated metal tracks

The set includes 240 links, as well as the metal wire needed to create the assembly pins. The two track runs—left and right—are made separately. Assembly is based on the successive fitting of the links and the insertion of the pins to form movable track assemblies.

Link-by-link tracks are a popular detailing solution for naturally reproducing the way the track wraps around the wheels and the track return. Their weight also provides an appropriate look for the running gear of armored vehicles and tracked military equipment.

Assembly and finishing

Preparing the links, cutting the metal wire, and regularly adjusting the pins will give you smooth articulation. It’s recommended to check the alignment of the parts as you go, then to position both track runs on the running gear before painting.

Once assembled, the tracks can be primed with a product compatible with metal, followed by painting and suitable weathering for the finish you want. Effects such as dust, earth, or wear can be built up gradually to preserve the definition of the details.
