I have a DML Jagdpanther on the bench and I'm a little confused as to what direction the tracks are installed. I'm afraid I might put the tracks on backwards and with DML's indy links a mistake like this is fatal

Thanks guys!

Jeep -
As you look at the front of the vehicle, the wide raised "rib" should be at the top. I hope this makes sense......

In other words, the skinny part of the track pin joint should be at the front of the link.... looking from the side..

If I am being confusing I'll try to find a picture...

HTH-

Kinda got it Jeff.

Looking from the front, the wide "rib" that makes contact with the ground should be at the top. Did I get that right?

Yep - exactly right Jeep :-)

Thanks mucho Jeff

Same rule for the other Panzers with similar tracks too?

John -

The same rule applies to all of the Panther "family". The exact OPPOSITE is true for the PzKpfw III and IV tanks... hehehe :-)
