Hi all,
now that I'm sure there are enough links in a single box of MK for a T-62, I would like to know if the Trumpeter sprocket (OMSh type) would accept the MK links.

Has anybody around already tried such a combination ?

If this doesn't work, I still have the possibility of using a spare Tamiya T-55 sprocket.

FYI, in a MK OMSh track box, there are 204 links when only a maximum of 96 per side are needed on a real T-62.

TIA

Howdy Olivier,

Just dug out one of my T-62 kits and tried putting the MK tracks around the sprocket (I already had the tracks finished for a T-55 project). I would say the fit is perfect. No need to take a sprocket from Tamiya.

Cheers,

Count included in the backup chain members, and any damaged pieces.
The point is, you put together a drive wheel, and try out the chain, and a width of teeth, and also between the two pairs will be good.

I got your point, thanks.
