Hi all,

As I'm working through the Skif T-55A (I know, I know...), I seem to have lost one of the 14-tooth sprockets, either hidden by my kitten or more likely, thrown away.
Does anyone have a spare one to sell or trade, or know of any aftermarket RMSh track sets that have the sprocket with them?

Thanks
Mike

The Trumpeter T-62 model 72 has both sprockets along with the RmsH track.

Also, The Fruil T-72 RmsH set has the sprockets as well - albeit a more expensive route.

Not exactly Chris, if my memory serves, the Friul T-72 sprockets are a separate set. So you can buy only the spockets without the tracks. Now, I can't swear the Skif tracks will fit on the Friul sprockets.

Hi Mike

Maybe the cheapest solution to get it, is buying another Skif t55 on e bay...(or find someone who can get you a spare wheel)

Is it difficult recasting the wheel in resin?

Cheers

Thanks for the help, guys. I'll go with the Friul sprockets as they seem cheap enough. There should hopefully be no problem with compatibility as I'll be using Masterclub tracks as they look to have the most accurate end-connector detail.
This won't be wasted on the kit, though, as I'm busy re-profiling the hull and sponsons, and tweaking here and there...
