The t16 tracks with the pads in my M3A3 box broke (AFV Club "rubber band" tracks, nice kit otherwise!). I was wondering if I could use the T36e6 tracks also included in the box for a Yugoslav M3A3. If not was any A3 equipped with the tracks?

Hay have you thought of trying Friulmodel tracks. If not I must say there the (it) man at first I thought the price was over the top till I got my first set in. Fully workable tracks. You know that sag a lot of us in tank building love, well you these are just the right tracks for the job.
Here's a link to a page at Great Models: (Your going to have to look them up like we all have) "PSSSSSSSS" here's the real lowdown I'm having you look through all the types so you ca see that there are a lot of tank and halftracks you can get tracks for. Trust me if your building your best get the best!

I can't address the original post but I would think that the tracks would be fine. Otherwise, AFV Club sells both sets as separate boxings.

To Captin Caveman's suggestion about Fruil tracks -- I think they are great -- but for the right kind of tank. Tigers and Panthers. JS 2s and T-34s. Absolutely.

But I would never use them for US subjects like the M3/M5 light tanks and the M4 Medium Shermans. The reason is that sagging tracks were never tolerated. The suspensions weren't built to have any sag -- the tracks would be thrown if sag existed. Therefore, the weightiness of the Fruil tracks actaully impart a level of inaccuracy -- unless you're planning to show broken tracks.

Agreed. Fruil tracks are really only good for "dead" track, like the WW II German & Brit track. American track was "live" and had virtually no sag. Ever.

Plus Fruil track is relatively expensive. Typical track for , say, a Pz IV will run between $26 & $32 depending upion if it's on sale. The AFV track can usually be had for about $10 less.

Yep these guys are right you realy never saw a sag in a US tankd unless the tank was bombed or broken down. Friulmodel tracks are grate for German subjects. As for the price, only look in to these tracks if you plan on puttig in a high level of detail or your a "show guy". I my self have only got one set for an IDF project and I'm looking in to getting my next set for a WWII Polish TKS.
So good luck with want ever you choose to buy.
