I was looking for a wee bit of help with the tracks in this kit (they aren't very good)

Are there any after market versions available or would I be able to use the tracks from the Tamiya Sherman Kit?

I don't know anything about the specific model of tracks used on those tanks but but Dragon (via Cyber Hobby) has quite a large choice of DS tracks which I think are quite good.

Martin ..check out the track kits from AFV Club ..i used one of their sherman sets on a Academy M4A3 105mm dozer kits and the tracks fit the drive sprockets without a single problem ,both use the HVSS suspension system so i know these will work ,,i am pretty sure its the same tracks that the M51 uses to ,,heres the info on the tracks ...
