Default Taigen Tiger Track Question

I can see by the Taigen Tiger I Late version that I have that it's plastic tracks are thicker and mor solid, with larger pins than the HL Tiiger I.

Does anyone know if this is a characteristic of the Taigen late and early versions, or just the late version?

Don't know when my stock gets here but when they do I'll take a look at the taigens and let you know. I would assume they would use the same mold though for both tracks as there were no changes on the real Tiger, Plus a plastics mold can be quite expensive.

I just compared the tracks on my HL Tiger 1 and Taigen Early Tiger 1.
The Taigen tracks are definitely more robust then the HL tracks.

My Taigen metal Tiger I tank early version also has bolder links and pins than Heng Long Tiger I. The sprocket screws are bolder too
