i'm building tamiya's old m1 abrams with the 105mm gun. the tracks on the kit are terrible, where can i get a set of better tracks for it?

curtis

Not sure about those older style tracks but newer ones at Lucky model, but not in stock http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=AF%2035012

Or do a seach at hobbyeasy

The only AM T-156 Checvron Block track is made by a company called Armor Scale. I don't know if they are still available though. Unfortunately, the T-158 Square Block tracks were not used with original, 105mm gunned, M1s.

There's a review on IPMS London website :

As Gino said, it seems to be OOP (some other ATM sets are now sold under Trumpeter's label BTW....) Maybe on eBay....

EDIT : just found them here :

I seen those tracks here at my LHS..something around US$30. Just 1 or 2 boxes left.

IF you really want it I can call my LHS to check further.

Thats right, Armor Track, not Armor Scale.

Nick,
If he doesn't want them, let me know, I will take 'em...

Just spoke to my LHS. He has 2 boxes of Armour Track Models T-156 tracks set (TK-02) @ US$30 each. I reserved them, so John and Curtis do let me know asap if you want them.

He doesn't want to ship, so I'll have to do it. Take note I'm in Singapore so postage to the US/Canada should be around $5 to $8..as the box should be less than 500g. Goes by Letter Post/Small packages.
Let me know, I'll buy them and let you know total cost. I take paypal.
Cheers.


I was looking at the links which Henri gave...perhaps it's more cost effective for you guys to order from "ask-models" or "themodelcatalogue"..

Anyway, just let me know so I can cancel or confirm the reserve at my LHS.

Nick,
PM Sent...

John

Roger that John.

I've just spoken to the shop and the 2 boxes of T-156 tracks set (TK-02) are reserved & be collected tomorrow. I'll weigh & estimate shipping.

Curtis, please get back to me soon if you want 1 set otherwise it'll go to John as well.

Thanks.
