Rick Griewski Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Any opinions about this Panda Models kit? I was hoping for individual link tracks. I have the 1/16 scale bug for two kit limit lately and the Panzer I by Takom is a gem. I want a 38t to go with it. Thanks in Advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassgrunt Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 This kit does have individual link tracks. Some people have drilled them out for metal pins, but I found it almost maddening to do that correctly. I replaced the stock plastic tracks with metal Spade Ace ones instead. Here is a link to an RC conversion of this kit, which will probably answer any questions you might have. https://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=28436 LSP_K2 and Rick Griewski 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thanks I looked at a few YouTube videos and not much depth. I will keep the track assembly tip in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I been looking at the Pz I to go with my 38T. SOL out of Korea made a nice tank troop with beret. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice parts But out of my league. I am working very hard to stay OO Box with these builds. Interiors do not interest me. My aircraft models have the aftermarket stuffed.

I won't spend a dime on invisible interior stuff, and for the most part, these kits don't really need much help externally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tracks included in the Panzer I have plastic pins that are a bit fragile and prone to fly away. They worked consistently after I figured out to align the track links with a small diameter drill shank. There are 6 spare pins I messed up 8.
