"PSC Panther drive sprockets" Topic

Hi everyone,

I picked up three painted panthers on ebay and the drive sprockets were missing. Contacted the seller and he apologised offered a complete refund or partial refund so I could go and buy replacement models for the sprockets.

I have no problem with how the seller handled this as he offered a complete refund but I kept the tanks. While I can go and buy the replacement models I was wondering if anyone knew of a source of pieces for scale modellers similar to the aftermarket brass pieces for 1:35 scale instead?

Edit to add these are 15mm scale not 1/72

Thanks,
David

Painted Panther with no drive sprocket? I guess I assumed they were put together kits and gee would a person not notice the sprockets missing! Hu must be just me, but what a bozo for selling them in such a condition. I would return the items and not be kind with the feedback.
To answer your question I know of no 15mm parts dealer or web site offering such items.

I can replace the pieces easily enough by buying the other kits it just means that there are three panthers without sprockets. It's not terribly noticable but more annoying than anything else.

The PSC panzer IIIs have two varieties of sprockets, so anyone who has them ought to have a couple of extras, which might fit. (A real threadhead would perhaps notice, of course.)

Thanks for the lead Henrix I may go that route and do some heavy mud drybrushing.

Edit, I just had a look at the PSC website and the H version of the PZ III looks pretty darned close.

Does anyone have 3 versions of the H drive sprockets they would be willing to trade for some loose WW2 pieces? I have some infantry and other bits in trade.

Use a little pumice gel and some to-scale tree branches (Army painter make ivy that works well) to disguise as mud and sticks caught in the treads?
