I am building the old Tamiya Pzkpfw IVD in an Afrika Korps scheme, and was wondering if I could realistically use the Panzer III/IV 40cm track set from DML on this vehicle? I have found nothing to say "no" but nothing supports this in the affirmative, either.

Bob, if you go here German Tanks maybe you could compare the two vehicles tracks usage.

Hi,

According to Achtung Panzer Panzerkampfwagen IV only ausf. F forward had the 40 cm wide tracks, those before had 36 cm tracks.

Correct their Tuga. And Tamiya used the wrong ones.
