Today I show you a closer look at my Tiger tracks currently being sold by Tankraft. my stls of these tracks can be found here app.gumroad.com/slapferret
Hey guys, it seems my audio just cuts out for 90 seconds after the demo, my apologies, no idea what happened. I'm not going to fix it as I think the video still functions as intended. I was just waffling about how you can get early and late as well as mirrored versions etc.
Hi! I found these being demonstrated via “Sprues n Brus” on YT....and ordered up three sets, two late types and one early and they go together really well! Tankraft have marketed these well. Their packaging is excellent, not only is it tough enough but it’s also roomy enough to ensure that the enclosed track, links and pins, remain safely cozied up within the box and foam packing...👍🏻👍🏻....proper packaging! I like the way the instructions are pasted onto the interior box lid....again good design....and the instructions are clear and easily understood....👍🏻👍🏻 Construction was easy enough and I found that the pins were more than sufficiently secure enough, to not require any gluing! What a bonus that was....no trapped track, no glue laden, finger marks to worry about, just lovely, nicely detailed, working track! I can happily recommend these to anyone in the modelling fraternity.....they’re an excellent “up grade” to indulge in! Thanks very much!
Ordered two sets of track after watching this. They arrived today and all I can say is “wow”! They look amazing! Can’t wait to use them. I will be ordering more!
Glad to see you back! Tracks look nice and easier to work with than the metal ones not to mention the weight! Will get a set when I build another Tiger!
Nice to see you on the Tube again. You are right on the crest of new technology of the modeling world. Very cool. I'll have to try these 3D tracks sometime in the future. Happy modelling!
@@AdamMann3D I am alive and well here in the New England. Building models and hoping to finish a few as I move along. Been busy with newsletter writing for my local IPMS chapter. I might start making videos again in the future.
@@russellgosselin3325 well i for one would love to see you return. You are part of the TH-cam old school. You've got lots of friends out here. Don't forget it.
They look great. Your demo was very convincing! Sign me up for Pz.Kpfw I or II if it ever happens. Friuls are too fragile to drill for a ham-fist like myself!😁 Looking forward to more videos - nice to see you back.👍
Adam, it truly TRULY is great that you have more time to post more things for us 😍😍😍 I won’t lie I’ve been sad know one does Tiger review, build etc videos like you, you’re passion is infectious and for other vehicles to but especially where Tiger 1’s are concerned and YES I know there are others out there who know more, you tell us so in ALL your videos 😉 but no one has that Adam Mann touch 😍😍😍 no holds barred, honest and with your humour 😂😂😂 so I for one am so happy to hear your coming back… but honestly, for me you’ve not been away as I watch your videos over and over again there that good… in my eyes anyway 😂😂😂 wishing you all the very best with your new job and looking forward to your comeback video 🙏😂😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad to see you back, I bought the stl file a while back. On my 3rd set now and printing my own pins. The best $5 I ever spent. Would love to get a set of these but postage to Australia is horrendous.
I should really do some pins for my files. Are you in the Tiger I in Scale facebook group? That's my group and I'd love to see your work with the tracks on.
@@AdamMann3D Thanks for the reply. I have a fond regard for the Tiger 1. I lived not far from Bovington for 10 years so Tiger 131 was a joy to see. I did Tiger Day one year and the dedication of the volunteers to that machine is awe inspiring. As for modelling I don't go for realism to the depths of most modellers. However, I do appreciate the art the the likes of you produce. I say I don't go for realism but the tracks have to be better than what most kits provide. Having tried soft metal and Ryefield at a significant cost , especially here in Australia, the best bang for buck is yours. If you have a 3D printer it's a no brainer. Next file to do is the tool clamps. Now that will be a challenge in 1:35 scale. But I'm up for the challenge. I hate photo etch.
Great review. I am liking all the 3D printed tracks on the market now. TREX, RochM Model, Heavy Hobby, Minor Model (?), and now Tankraft. I guess just like with metal tracks, we now have to see what separates these brands from each other. I do like that these ones are made in USA and also I trust them extra being your design :) I think Brad is going to send me some to check out.
I'll make a video shortly, but long story short I had a rough job that was making me miserable and my.2 boys are 2 and 4. So now that i am working back in 3d from home it's only the kids that keep me away. But I'm trying to find a balance and ease back in.
The tracks look good but they don't seem to interlock very well with the drive sprocket in this video ? So are you going to produce a Sprocket that fits the links ?
Tankraft carries a Panther set (or will) i was involved with. Modeled by my friend Kai but based on initial work by me measuring my original link. I endorse his. But i plan to do all Pnazer links. It's a passion project. Tankraft will carry quite of few.
@@AdamMann3D hopefully sooner than later! I’m excited to try them out. I have to get a Tiger 1 now, haha I will order these tracks soon, they look great
Mr Mann I need your help I need 3d printed tiger front fenders for my Ryefield tiger kit I DONT have a 3d printer but want to buy some. Can I and how? Thanks for any help.
Hi Adam. Would you mind have a look at this video and telling me which version of the Tiger tank appears at the 15min 18 sec mark? It looks like one of the first Tigers (initial production) with the storage boxes on the side. It also appears as if the tracks are transport tracks as they are not as wide as the normal ones... Would appreciate your input. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/xSxs4BVlitU/w-d-xo.html

Brad does great stuff at Tankraft. I'm very pleased to hear they worked well for you. It's a good company to work with for sure.

Hey hey glad to see you back! 👍
Tracks look great! U.S. made! Great to have you back!
I am so glad to see you back, I hope you do some new Tiger Tank reviews, a lot has changed, and you do the best reviews in my humble opinion . 🙂
They look great. Your demo was very convincing! Sign me up for Pz.Kpfw I or II if it ever happens. Friuls are too fragile to drill for a ham-fist like myself!😁 Looking forward to more videos - nice to see you back.👍
They look like they’ve come out great. You must be tickled to see your name on a quality product… certainly well-deserved.

These look awesome bro! way to go
Always like it when you get it from the creator. Yes I also bought the file.

Yes he is, you'll have to do another Tiger for me.
@@AdamMann3D My Initial Tiger 100 is still waiting for paint, but she's already got metal tracks...
Where in the heck have you been i/ We miss your insights on german equipment. Welcome back. Also how's your family alls well I pray.
I'll make a video shortly, but long story short I had a rough job that was making me miserable and my.2 boys are 2 and 4. So now that i am working back in 3d from home it's only the kids that keep me away. But I'm trying to find a balance and ease back in.
@Adam Mann
Oh, heck, yes, looking forward to it.
Great video as always !👍 . Any update to your collections of track links ? 🤔.
Great tracks, I'm working with the late type right now, looks awesome so far 👌, are you going to make tracks for panzer III and IV and winterketten?
Very cool, I've just printed a flexible one for a Tonka. Little different.😊
Nice, that's quite the interesting content
Andys hobby headquarters is coming out with a 1/16 tiger 1 early. We are going to need an Adam Mann review for that
I think he is just scaling up existing molds. Perhaps Dragon in this case. I will see if I can track one down. I'm not a big 16th scale guy.
Nice video....are you making any for Pz IV? Say D model? Great looking tracks!
I have bought 3 sets and have been very happy with them. Any chance of future tracks for the popular Panther and/or Sherman tanks?
Always a chance. But no plans currently
Got to try these. You going to make Pz III & IV's too ??
Yes. I have done type I already. I own most types of original so it shouldn't be too hard.
Looks great, but why we can not see a closer look? KR from Germany
my lens didn't zoom very far on the new slr. My apologies.
The tracks look good but they don't seem to interlock very well with the drive sprocket in this video ? So are you going to produce a Sprocket that fits the links ?
They fit ok, but not as well as friul. I may have to do a sprocket. I talked with t.rex about this and they the same issue.
@@AdamMann3D Thanks for the reply Adam. Be sure to keep us all informed if a sprocket is added to the set of links
Do they work? As in I can atleast “play” with the tracks on my desk per say? Any idea if you will do a Panther track set?
Tankraft carries a Panther set (or will) i was involved with. Modeled by my friend Kai but based on initial work by me measuring my original link. I endorse his. But i plan to do all Pnazer links. It's a passion project. Tankraft will carry quite of few.

Hi there. Are you still 3Dmodelling tank tracks? I'd be interested in the King Tiger transport tracks for a Panther F/Panther II model.
What is the result, if any , of the pins being reversed?
I don't think there would be much of one honestly. Other than head detail which my eyes are too bad to see.
where i can find this type of track thank
Tankraft.com
Humble brag ;)
Fuckin A right. Love you Hendrik.

Would appreciate your input. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/xSxs4BVlitU/w-d-xo.html
That is Tiger 100 of s.Pz.Abt 502, it was captured near Leningrad in late 42. It is the basis of Dragon 6252 and 6600.
Great tracks, I'm working with the late type right now, looks awesome so far 👌, are you going to make tracks for panzer III and IV and winterketten?
Yes, working on the 3d files now for Panzer III types. Working my way through.
@@AdamMann3D excellent 👍👍👍👍
