This is part 1 in a 2 part series of building Wittmann's 1331 from the battle of Kursk. I used Cyber-Hobby 9142 (slightly modified) and AFV Club workable tracks. This is a buddy build with my good friend Shane Smyth on Kursk Tigers.
I explain the particular features I chose and why on this build, and for the most part stick to the traditional idea that Wittmann's Tiger was a later delivered early (April) with spare tracks on the turret and later Feifels.
Special thanks to David Byrden for his assistance.

Here is my rather long video showing Kaizen workable tracks. I have been building these whenever I have some time for a few months and seeing how well I like them. I compare them with Friul, AFV Club and Modelkasten/Rye Field type tracks. I also show how to build them.
At the end I show a few other types of Kaizen tracks that I have like Panther, T-84, T54E1, and various types of Panzer III/IV tracks like Winterketten and Ostkettten.
I really like these, and I think they're a great alternative to Friul for about half of the price.

Here is my review of the new Rye Field Model Tiger I with Interior. I'm looking forward to seeing how this stacks up against the old Academy kit, from the look of it well. Some of the errors from the DAK kit have been corrected, and some all new ones are here.

Here is my quick look through the newest edition of Tank Art 1 from Rinaldi Studio Press. This is an even better book than the previous editions as it has added model sections, more detailed explanations and is just more of what we've all come to expect from Michael Rinaldi.
