Default Borgward lower , anyone did it? 1/16

Hi guys,

as I moved with my girfliend togerther i had to sell all my tank stuff, and now I wanna get back again in that hobby, but I plan it a little smaller.

I fell in love with the Borgward "Wanze" Tank hunter.

The lower from it, watcha think is it possible to do this, or maybe print it in 3D ?

I am not sure if it would work and if it could handle the force which goes on the lower...

Greetings

3D printing would certainly work for the hull, suspension and wheels, the awkward bit would be the tracks.

Yeah there are you totally right.

I thought maybe scale 1/24 or smaller rc tracks from rubber or anything else could work?

like the academy panther or from 1/35 Tamiya RC Tanks ?

Walterson's Panzer IV possibly? Wish we could get the tracks seperately tho, as theres a lot of things I could do with them and I don't want to pay Heng Long money for a full tank

Send Waltersons a message, I'm sure they will work with you. Use their page here: Radio Controlled toys & hobbies - Enthusiasm beyond compare - Waltersons and tell him Erik sent you over looking for tracks and see what they can do ok?
