well, I served on 2S1 and I would like to tell that these tracks are extremely realistic! But I must admit that they`re can be used ONLY on MT-LBu family, because tracks of MT-LB are a bit different

Looks like they would fit on the SA-6 or ZSU

These tracks are NOT correct for a ZSU or SA-6 (Or BTR-50/PT-76 or a ASU-85).

They are specific to the MT-LB and MT-LBu family of vehicles.

Aleksey, I have seen these tracks used on more modern versions of the MT-LB chassis, like the AZM and MT-LB MA6. Admittedly they are more show pieces than in mass use in the Russian or Ukrainian military, but it does show that these tracks are being used on not just the MT-LBu.

Hmmm..... I used to see them all over the yard where I worked. Maybe for the MT-LB or SA-13s then.

Yes, that's why the thread is titled "Masterclub MT-LB 2S1 tracks".

May be that`s right. But, on MT-LBu were tracks (with rubber-metal sarticulation) presented here. And on the MT-LB there`re a bit different tracks with OPEN sarticulation

that is a difference. Unfortunately I haven`t photoes to show it
