OK, I have both of these kits. Here is my question: Are the track links and the number of track links the same between these two vehicles.

In other words, can I use my Tamiya rubber band Panzer IV H tracks on my Nashorn, and use my Dragon individual links on my Panzer IVH?

Thanks in advance.

Funney, I have the tamiya Panzer IV and just orderd the DML Nashorn :-)

I dont know if the tamiya Panzer IV tracks will fit the Nashorn (they were quite tight)
Why not just odering track links for the Panzer IV?
Good Luck

While I've never actually tried to fit the Tamiya tracks onto the Nashorn I think I know the answer. If you have the old DML Nashorn then the rubber band tracks will probably fit as that kit was incorrectly based on a pure Panzer IV hull, but if you have the new DML Nashorn the answer is more than likely no because the Nashorn hull was a lengthened Panzer IV hull which would make the Tamiya tracks too short.

Just an aside, you better have patience to work with those DML tracks as there are two ejector pin marks per track link. I am currently working on the new DML Nashorn and gave up all the cleaning and filing and bought a set of Friulmodel instead.
