Hi. I just repainted my old Tamiya T-34, kit 35059 and would like to get a better looking track. I searched online and got several types, from early version to late version. Does it matter which one i get ? Thanks in advance.

Hi Thanh,you need 500mm type for your '1943' T34.For mine I've chosen Master Club resin kit but AFV club makes it in plastic/styrene.
cheers

I used the AFV Club workable on a model and I really didn't like assembling them.

I would rather use some leftover from a suitable Dragon kit (put a wanted post somewhere, I'm sure some modeller can help you out) or even the old RPM ones, which you used to be able to find cheap.

It seems a waste of money to spend a lot on the better options like WW2 Productions (my favourites), Modelkasten or Friulmodel on such an old and oudated kit.

Cheers,


Christophe

I agree with you. I always use the cheap Marquette track or the tracks from the old Dragon T-34 kits, it's a cheap why to make the old Tamiya kits look good.

Thanks for the replies. Never thought of this idea. Will ask if someone has an unused and available set for sell from their old kit. Thanks again.
