Sturmtigers were made from remanufactured tanks. So you might have an early chassis (no zimmerit) with steel wheels fitted etc. Most seem to have had late type tracks. The Kubinka tank might be an early one or a prototype. It also has bolted on armor etc.
I recommend the AFV Club link tracks. They are under $20 US, have hollow guide horns, and are easy to build. The center top section of the tracks with the guide horns is seperate and you just snap the links together and glue that largish piece on top to fix them so they work.
Academy's tracks are fair and generally not the correct type unless you are making one of the tanks known to have early type. Plus the guide teeth are solid and clunky. |
