Hi,

i'm looking to buy a 1/35 track for my T-34/85, and i have a big dilema which to buy. i have an old Tamiya (with RC things inside the body)


The first one is AFV

I don't know about the other but the AFVC tracks are really pretty nice and about the most reasonably priced "after market" tracks out there.
Make sure you go with AF35173 (later waffle pattern) for your -85.

Wow, the Kaizen tracks look pretty good in the photos and you even save a couple of bucks over the AFVC set.
To me it appears that either will do for your project.
Shame the seller is out of them because now I want to pick some up!

You can find it on e bay, they are about the same money as with this guy.

I must say i like the kaizen, the pics do look great.

This is my first post on Armorama. I'm currently assembling a set of Kaizen T-34 500mm Track for my Tamiya T-34-85. They go together reasonably quickly, don't require much clean-up, and the one side I've got mounted look great.

I made a deal with a (Ukranian?) dude once. A bought several Maquette kits for a total with shipping of about five bucks apiece. The tracks aren't too bad for plastic individual link. And for the price, who cares - they're still far better than the Tamiya ones.
