I'm looking to replace the Italeri M-47 tracks and since the tank keeps much of its Pershing tank heritage, can I use M-26/46 tracks as a substitute? Or am I stuck with the included tracks?

Hi DMS;

The M46/46A1 used T80E4 23" wide rubber backed steel tracks and T84E1 23" steel backed rubber chevron.tracks. The M47 used T80E6 23" rubber backed steel tracks and T84E1 23" steel backed rubber chevron tracks which is what the Italeri kit shows. So you can replace them with the rubber chevron style if they are available. I don't know whats in the DML/Dragon kits. This all came out of Hunnicutt's PATTON book.
