I'm kit-bashing an early British T51 from the Battle of El Alamein (this is a project I started long before Dragon released a kit of this subject, but I'm it too deep to turn back now).
Anyway, I believe I need T51 tracks, but all I have are some old rubber-band tracks from an ancient Italeri kit. I've seen two or three different kinds of after-market kits for these tracks, but I'm hoping someone can tell me which is the best. Thanks.

What are you looking for?
For the T-51...
Dragon and Tasca both sell rubber band tracks that glue with regular model glue.
AFVClub and Panda Plastics both sell indy link versions.
Any of those, if finished well, looks very good. The rubber band tracks might need to be shortened a link or two depending on your kit-bashed hull, but that's not difficult.
