I dont have the kit yet but I have ordered one. I know the kit comes with 2 types/patterns of tracks.
I have a set of Fruil ATL-38--- and wanted to know from any of the T-34 experts if these would be suitable for this kit?

These are the earlier type pattern tracks commonly seen on 1940 and 41 variant T-34's.

the kit also comes with these types as well, but i cannot find any references pictures of the Factory 112 T-34's with these type tracks. But then again, I only have 2 T-34 books. Just wanted to know if I was safe using them for this kit, which I think I would be since the kit comes with this type as an option.

Either of the track sets provided in the kit are correct for early simplified hull small trany hatch Factory 112 T-34s (How's that for specific? )

I know PMMS in their review make a statement that the 550mm waffle pattern tracks aren't exactly correct but I'm not at all sure why (something about fewer ribs on each link?). Certainly there are some very good photos showing these same pattern tracks on "early" 112 tanks.
I'm assuming that because there were some differences in the casting of these links someone has come to the conclusion that only one of them is "correct". The truth is that more than one type was used at that factory.
