Hello, I have a Tamiya Panther g late; that a friend gave me and too cheap to buy aftermarket tracks. I need some ideas for a tank in a diorama without tracks. I was thinking factory or tank going to be towed by U.S. to scrapeyard. Thanks for the help.

You could also thread wire through the tracks to hold them in place. Then you could put side skirts on to hide the wire. Or if you're doing a diorama, you could tie the wire from the bottom and hide the knot in the diorama base. Unless you really hate vinyl tracks, in which case you could do a diorama of the tank flipped upside down, covered in snow and with broken tracks. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the tracks being inflexible as much.

Hope that helps,

Mark

Buy Tamiya's M26 Dragon Wagon and have your Panther (minus tracks) being loaded.
