Hi,

How would the spare tracks be mounted on a Panther A turret? Would the hangers be more a field mod or factory installed. Am building one for a campaign, and the reference pic I have doesn't help much. TIA.

Cheers,

Tat

Thanks Roy, Vanhall. I guess it wouldn't be as complicated after all. Cheers -- Tat

They were mounted off of hooks, then chained.
