I see that Trumpeter is coming out with two sets of tracks for the M24 light tank. Is it possible that there is an actual M24 coming out as well? If there is, will Dragon also do one and try to release it before Trumpeter? Just wondering.

about time they started focusing on allied and commonwealth vehicles, i can probably say with confidence that every model company in HISTORY has made AT LEAST one german AFV kit. the m24 is a long neglected subject IMO, the only one was done by italeri, i saw steve z. do a sh*t load of work to make it into a WWII standard one. so a m24 would be likely in the future lets hope.

Unlikely but it would be welcome. This and the other tracks are from an old range of Track kits (Armourtrack?) which they appear to have acquired the moulds. They were excellent in there day and I hope they are still as godd (and half as cheap)
Cheers

Thanks Al,
I wondered where they suddenly came up with all those track molds from.

Al,

Have you actually assembled them? The M41 tracks were a nightmare to build and the Challenger 2 ones were, well, very "challenging"...

Cheers,

Christophe
