Hi,

I recently bought two old kits of Tamiya (35216 and 35146, probably not in production anymore ). My concern is about the 35146 or the Tiger-I late production individual track links . I am just curious why the number of links (instructed) is not equal, 99 and 100 links. Is there something I should be concerned about?

Thanks

Warthog this is normal for Tigers. If you look at the road wheels the one side is set back a little. Both idlers are the same distance from the Drive sprockets but the road wheels are different. So one side is on link shorter. I hope this helps. BTW this kit builds into a nice Tiger. Good luck with it.
