Laupen Model 1/35 Scale Articulated Caterpillar Tracks for the JGSDF Type 10 Tank, 2nd Production Lot C2 with Rubber Pads

Product Introduction

The Type 10 tank's tracks are a double-pin, single-block design unique to the Type 10 tank. The design differs between the prototype and the production model. The first production batch (C1), delivered in 2012, had no rubber undersides and large indentations on the surface. However, from 2013 onward (C2), rubber was added to the undersides of the tracks, eliminating the indentations on the surface and creating a flat appearance. Rubber pads for driving on paved roads can be installed on the surface of the tracks as needed, and are compatible with both the C1 and C2. As the tracks on vehicles from the first batch wore out, they were gradually replaced with C2 specifications, and it appears that almost all vehicles are now equipped with the C2 specification. The C2 tracks accurately reproduce the surface pattern, which differs from the C1 tracks, as well as the details of the rubber pads added to the underside. The C2 Track with Rubber Pads (35-005) is a dedicated part to replicate the mounting bolts on the underside. The rubber pads on the front side are separate parts for easier painting and to recreate worn or brand new appearances.
