E.T. Model P35-023 is an extremely detailed set of WinterKetten tracks designed for the German Pz.Kpfw. III and IV tanks used during World War II. The set is designed in 1/35 scale and manufactured using modern 3D printing technology, ensuring exceptional precision and excellent detail reproduction. These are Type 3, Narrow tracks, faithfully replicating the version used on the Eastern Front during the winter months.

Historical Overview

WinterKetten are special winter track links developed by the Germans to improve the traction of Pz.Kpfw. III and Pz.Kpfw. IV tanks during operations in snow- and ice-covered areas. The improved traction significantly increased the mobility of these vehicles in the harsh conditions of the Eastern Front during World War II, from 1942 to 1944. WinterKetten were primarily mounted during fighting in Russia, where standard tracks could not handle deep snow, making the vehicles easier targets for the enemy.
