Ryefield Models has established itself as a premier manufacturer of high-quality aftermarket accessories that elevate 1/35 scale military modeling to professional standards. This extensive collection represents the cutting edge of scale modeling technology, combining traditional injection-molded components with advanced 3D-printing techniques to deliver unprecedented detail, accuracy, and functionality. Each product is meticulously researched and engineered to provide modelers with the tools needed to create historically authentic, museum-quality replicas that showcase the finest details of legendary armored fighting vehicles.
Ryefield Models pioneered the use of 3D-printing technology for aftermarket track links, delivering a level of detail and functionality previously unattainable in injection-molded plastic. The workable track link sets feature individually articulated links that replicate authentic track geometry, wear patterns, and surface textures with microscopic precision. Available for numerous vehicle types including Tiger I Early and Late Production, Pz.Kpfw.III/IV variants with Early Production, Late Production, and Winterketten configurations, T-34 series, KV-1, Leopard 2A5/A6/A7, Challenger 2 TR60, Jagdpanther Ausf.G2, and M4 Sherman VVSS Type 62, these track sets transform the running gear of any model from acceptable to exceptional.
The 3D-printed construction allows for undercut details, hollow guide horns, and authentic link spacing that injection molding cannot achieve. Each link exhibits the proper thickness, connector pin detail, and surface texture found on full-scale tracks, creating realistic sag and drape when installed. The workable nature means tracks can be positioned to show realistic tension, slack, and ground contact, adding dynamic realism to static displays. Special variants include Tiger I Initial Type Mirror Tracks with their distinctive asymmetrical pattern and Tiger I Transport Mode tracks showing the narrower combat configuration. These premium track sets pair perfectly with 1/35 Ryefield tanks and complement builds from other manufacturers seeking ultimate track realism.
Ryefield's Upgrade Solution series addresses the limitations of standard kit components by providing enhanced detail parts, corrected dimensions, and additional equipment options.

Ryefield aftermarket components are engineered for straightforward installation with minimal modification required. The 3D-printed track links typically require removal from support structures and light cleanup before assembly, with clear instructions provided for link count and assembly sequence. Upgrade sets include detailed placement guides showing where enhanced components replace kit parts, with most installations requiring only basic modeling skills and standard tools. The precision fit of Ryefield components minimizes the need for extensive test-fitting or modification, allowing modelers to focus on assembly and finishing rather than problem-solving.
When working with 3D-printed tracks, modelers should note that the material characteristics differ slightly from injection-molded plastic. Standard plastic cement will not work; cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue) is recommended for assembly. The tracks can be painted using standard acrylic, enamel, or lacquer paints after thorough cleaning to remove any residual oils from the printing process. The fine detail of 3D-printed components responds exceptionally well to weathering techniques, with washes and dry brushing revealing the microscopic surface textures that bring the tracks to life.
While Ryefield aftermarket components are designed primarily for use with Ryefield's own kits, many items are compatible with offerings from other manufacturers. The workable track links are dimensionally accurate to the full-scale vehicles, making them suitable for any 1/35 scale kit of the same subject regardless of manufacturer. Upgrade sets designed for specific Ryefield kit numbers may require adaptation when used with other brands, but the enhanced detail and accuracy often justify the additional effort. Modelers should verify dimensions and mounting points when planning cross-manufacturer applications, though the precision of Ryefield components typically ensures good compatibility.
The aftermarket parts work beautifully in diorama settings when combined with appropriate groundwork materials from Vallejo Diorama FX and diorama effects collections. The realistic track sag and detail provided by workable links becomes even more apparent when vehicles are positioned on textured terrain with proper ground contact and environmental weathering. Upgrade sets that add stowage, equipment, and field modifications provide the visual interest and authenticity that elevate dioramas from simple vehicle displays to compelling historical narratives.
Ryefield Models employs state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques to ensure consistent quality across their aftermarket range. The 3D-printing process uses high-resolution equipment that captures details measured in microns, producing components with surface textures and fine features impossible to achieve through traditional molding. Injection-molded components in upgrade sets exhibit sharp detail with minimal flash, precise fit, and thoughtful parts breakdown that facilitates assembly and painting. Photo-etched brass components included in select sets provide ultra-thin details like brackets, screens, and equipment that enhance realism without overwhelming the model.
Each product undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure dimensional accuracy, complete parts count, and clear instructions. The company's commitment to historical accuracy means that components are based on extensive archival research, museum vehicle examination, and consultation with subject matter experts. This attention to authenticity ensures that Ryefield aftermarket parts not only look impressive but accurately represent the vehicles they depict, satisfying both casual modelers and serious military historians.
