Wow, those tracks don't come cheap! There aren't any barrels I'm aware of for these kits. Airwaves may have made a detail set a while back but I'm not certain about this.

model cellar has styrene tracks for this vehicle and the airwaves etch brass has been re-released by hannants. panzershop also has resin upgrade sets but no metal barrel hopefully RB barrels will do one. none of this stuff is cheap.

Good luck with Panzershop. I waited 4 months to receive them.

I have a very hard time finding these products in the US. Would you have links to any suppliers of Model Cellar or Hannants?

I ordered my set of Model Cellar tracks directly from Model Cellar. Worked out great for me.

I picked up the Airwaves set of PE from eBay a few weeks ago. They don't show up very often, but the cost was quite reasonable.

Accurate Armor also makes resin link-and-length. I had a couple sets some time back (gone now ). Their cost was not too bad and had good service from them. From what I remember they were pretty nice.

A p.s. to that last: Thanks for the link to the Model Cellar...I'm liking the sytrene they offer a lot better than the resin l-n-l.

The styrene Model Cellar tracks are easier to clean up and assemble, but the edges of the links are a bit thick (same problem as on the Tamiya Char B). You can either ignore this, or scrape and sand the edges to resemble the sheet metal they were stamped from (which will take a while).

I ordered a set of tracks from panzershop off ebay and received them in about 3 weeks they were quite easy to work with I tried to get the model cellar ones but couldnt place an order they are about $25.00 U.S and from memory about $10.00 for postage.
