No Jack,
Please don't bin the kit. The top pic is a model and not a real Panther II. The bottom pic is also very, very iffy. Ok, we won't get into that...
A simple solution would be to nip the track at one of the join points of the links, but first I have to ask if the tracks are workable or did you glue the links all together? If they are workable, then nip the join and swap them around. You would then have the width you need for the skirts and you can glue them back together and hide the join under the skirts, out of view...
The Panther II chassis uses the same roadwheel setup as the Tiger II. The tracks for the Panther II chassis are the same tracks used on the Tiger II when it was transported by rail, not the wider normal Tiger II tracks...
No Panther II's were ever completely built with the small turret designed for it. The chassis was captured by the Americans in April 1945, without a turret.
