I wasn't aware of aftermarket set for the Pershing (why I couldn't have figured that one out who knows) in any case... I'ld like to know as well and why would I consider aftermarket tracks for this kit..I've just been convinced that those Friuilo (or whatever) metal tracks were the best way to go for the Geman stuff

Hi
I have just received the WW2 Production set of T81 tracks for my Pershing and they are really looking great : no flash, easy to fit, fully workable and plenty of spare links. And the price is very reasonable too.
ps I'm not on the payroll

Blklem, the T81 single-pin steel tracks were the most common on the T26E3 during WWII, there was at least one that used the later T80E1 rubber-pad tracks.
