Thanks!

Hi Everyone;
These tracks are a must have, i used them for my Bt-72 which is 4 feet longer than a Normal T-72. The tracks were a very Simple Snap together and went very Fast, and were easy too get them too Sag normally over the road wheels.
I Highly recomend Them, as they will Greatly Improve the look of the T-72.

CHEERS; MIKE.

These are OMSh tracks...

Guess that's a typo? Should be RMSH.

Cheers,

and now, where's trumpy new tooled T-72 then?

Hi;

I Dont think you will see a New Tooled T-72 from them for a Couple of Years, T-80 & maybe a T-90 ! You still can find there copy of Tamiyas T-72 floating around. Also you Dont have too use them on just a T-72.


CHEERS; MIKE.

trumpy announce their T-80BV not long ago, and Meng announced T-90 in end of the 2011( and they ate their promise)

MAN! I Swear I wrote RMSh...really.

Do they fit the T-72 sprockets?

I know the indy link versions fit the smaller Dragon/Zvezda sprockets, and I'd check the Tamiya sprocket but I don't have one built at the moment. If it wasn't obvious, they will fit the Trump RMSh sprockets on the 62M.

Hi;

Yes these tracks will work on the Drive Sprockets, ive built three T-72s & a BT-72. This set is a Joy to work with.
And Far Better than other sets on the Market, these can be used on the T-55s aswell ! Just make sure that you use a T-72 drive sprocket.


CHEERS; MIKE.

So just usable on T55 and T72?

RMSH tracks were originaly used on the T-72.
DMSH tracks were originaly used on the T-54/55/62.

As time went on (probably for logistical reasons), RMSH tracks were started to be used on the T-54/55/62 series as well. AFAIK this have nothing to do with any particular upgrade (say, T-62M), it just that at some point they started to be used RMSH. Fitting of RMSH tracks to 54/55/62 require a different drive sprocket than the original OMSH type.

One note: the drive sprocket for T-72 RMSH and T-54/55/62 RMSH are not the same. 54/55/62 have a special drive sprocket for this. It's included in the Trumpeter T-62 kits. It's similar but not the same as the T-72 sprocket.

RMSH tracks seem to be the most common track for 55/62 today and for the last 30 years or so. Althought DMSH tracks are not that uncommon, depending on theatre.

Thank you Erik!

Erik, unless I am really screwed up, they are OMSh tracks, not DMSh tracks, right? Or is this a translation issue?

You are 100% correct of course. OMSH it is.

Thanks!
