Hi all,

Another question from the Netherlands. I'm looking for some tracks for my Marder IIIM (Tamiya kit). Could I use these Fruils with sprockets?


http://www.minitair.be/product_info.php?cPath=39_152&products_id=6172

Reason I'm asking is because I understood there are some differences in sprockets and perhaps also tracks (?) between some of the German Pzkfw 38(t) based conversions. Just wanna be sure these are ok

Thanks,
Martin

The sproket is going to be wrong for all Marder IIIMs except maybe the first few examples. most of them had no lightening holes around the rim.

not sure about the tracks themselves. I *think* they might be good to use, but someone else might know better than me.

Marder III-M used the same tracks as the 38(t), so should be ok there. The sprockets should be solid as mentioned vs. those with lightening holes.
