1/1 Full Size PzKpfw III/IV 40cm Track Link Tori Factory #1001 Shrink Wrap MISB

Description: I have to clear some space on my shelves, so I need to part with some of my collection. The Panzer III and IV Medium Tanks were the backbone of the German Army during WWII. There were better and more sophisticated tanks built, but they were never fielded in sufficient numbers, so Panzer III/IV tanks and their derivatives shouldered the load. Now you can have a full-size track link to give everyone an idea of how massive these “Medium Tanks” were. Makes a great conversation piece for collectors and historians alike. Tori Factory is a South Korean company that has only been around for a few years. Their products are an eclectic mix that includes knights in armor, robotic cows and even rabbits. I only found one listing for this kit on eBay (without the limited-edition female figure), but as a Top Rated Plus US Seller, I have it in stock and can reliably ship this kit very quickly. Here is some of the info I found about this unique kit from around the web: The Tori Factory site (torifactory.com) seems to have major problems. From other sources, I have found the following description and list of features: 1/1 (Full Size) WWII German Panzerkampfwagen III/IV Medium Tank Track for Sd. Kfz. 141 & Sd. Kfz. 161 Armoured Fighting Vehicles. · This product contains one track model kit· The same track product can be connected to each other· Assembly requires model adhesive (glue)· Do not use for anything other than display Scalemates.com has a listing that shows this is a brand-new tooling from 2020. There are links to several reviews (some referenced below) to give you a good idea of what is in the box. Thomas Hartwig wrote up a brief In-Box Review on the German-language panzer-modell.de site that starts with his surprise at the kit itself. He describes the rather simple assembly and shows all of the parts in seven photos. He thinks the whole thing looks great when it is done and sees value in having more than one strung together. In the end, he said: “All in all, it can be said that this is certainly an unusual kit that will certainly find its fans and is certainly a nice decorative element for all those for whom an original chain link for home is too expensive. Properly painted and aged, this is visually certainly great cinema.” Adam Mann put together a 19-minute In-Box Review on YouTube that shows the parts as they come and then quickly assembled. He does this to compare it with an actual track link that he has collected. The dimensional analysis came out pretty well and the model looks very much like the relic, even before painting. Andy's Hobby Headquarters delivered a 10-minute New Product Review on YouTube that dedicates the first 5 minutes to this product. He takes out the two track halves and mates them up to show the tight fit. Further on, he shows a couple track links taped together and linked with the track pin to show how they can string together to make a longer section of track with multiple kits. For the German speakers out there, Modellbau-Koenig published a 7-minute Unboxing Video on YouTube that shows the big parts going together smoothly but also comparing to a rusty track from an actual Panzer. I can’t tell you what he is saying, but he shows that the plastic track is just slightly narrower than the metal track, although they look essentially the same to me. This special kit is in a hefty box about 16.5” x 8” x 4”. As you can see from the pictures, the package is pristine and is still sealed with shrink wrap, so it is factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready. This unusual kit contains ten black plastic parts, along with a simplified instruction set and painting guide. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays winning bid and for a limited time, this large and heavy (>2.5 lbs.) item is offered with $12 Flat Rate Shipping in the US! No reserve and a low starting bid. Check out my other great auctions for combined shipping. Good luck! Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder). As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
