Default Hetzer metal tracks, sprockets, idlers

Seems to me Asiatam made 1.16 Hetzer tracks, sprockets, back in 2014. They don't appear on the website. Has anyone seen them or know where to get some?

Herman, aka the green amphibian, should know where to get them.

In fact, he might even have a couple of sets in stock. Also, you might check with imex Erik, since he bought one of those from Herman and may know where the tracks came from. I'm pretty sure that was part of the deal, that when Herman built Erik's tank Erik had to provide the tracks.

Herman made the drive and idlers for mine but the tracks I had to get from Asiatam. Luckily we seen them at a business trip a few years ago and he gave me a set for the Hetzer. Love that tank so much it has been my only shelf queen.

Just for info, in case you can't find the Asiatam tracks and decide to go with the Spade Ace 38T tracks. I got a set of Herman's sprockets and idlers, and while I recognized that they were made to fit the Asiatam tracks; I figured they would be close enough to work with the Spade Ace 38T tracks. But, no luck - both the sprockets and idlers are too narrow to fit over the track teeth. (Although the tracks are soft enough that you can bend the guide horns in enough to pass through them. I don't know if they will be a good long-tern solution, though). -Mike
