Yes, the SU-100 used T-34 tracks.

Yes, any later pattern 500mm T-34 track will do. AFV Club make a nice set that isn't too expensive - part number AF 35173.

It's the Zvezda kit, often reissued by Revell/Germany and Italeri. Basically okay, dimensionally, but it does need a set of tracks. I also like the new AFV Club workable tracks, though the old link to link tracks from RPM/Maquette can also work (out of production, now, but they were quite cheap). Some photoetch will also help dress up the engine grills. The kit has some postwar features, but could be done as a Soviet Cold War subject or a 1956 Suez Crisis Egyptian vehicle.

Gerald,

I've got one of these too, but know very little about them. Can you point out which features are post-war?

Thanks,

Tom
