Trumpeter 02054 - 1/35 KARL Late Track Links: Collector Reference

This Trumpeter 02054 1/35 KARL Late Track Links set is aimed at military scale modellers who want to improve the authenticity of their KARL self-propelled mortar projects. The parts focus on late-production link patterns so displays and dioramas reflect the correct look of these heavy artillery vehicles.

Historical background and service use

The KARL series served as some of the largest self-propelled mortars in World War II, employed for heavy bombardment roles. These late-style track links are modelled to match the later service variants, helping modellers portray period-accurate vehicles in museum-style or battlefield scenes.

Build quality and modelling notes

Injection-moulded for fine surface detail, the Trumpeter 02054 tracks are designed for careful assembly and offer workable links for realistic sag and positioning. This kit suits experienced builders who want to pose tracks naturally on wheels and idlers for added realism.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Features: Workable track links
These links are modelled for late-production KARL variants and may need trimming or alteration to match earlier kit frames. Check wheel spacing and pin locations before committing glue.
Standard modelling tools like sprue cutters, fine files, plastic cement and tweezers are sufficient. A pin vise and small pliers help when adjusting link fit and alignment.
Prime the plastic, then apply a base metallic or dark brown wash, followed by drybrushing and weathering pigments to simulate wear and mud. Mask moving joints if you want preserved articulation.
