Hi all, I picked up the new Dragon Firefly VC and want to do fruil tracks for it ( Ive done 1 set and they hooked me) Anyone know if they even make a set for this model and if so which ones? Thank you!

Regards, John

Hi there Parts-

I'm not an allied guy, so someone smarter than me can jump in here if I have this wrong..... :-)

I think the set you need is ALT-12 - the T-54E1 type tracks. These are the all steel tracks most commonly seen on British Sherman variants I believe.


Fruil doesn't make a T-49 three bar cleat track as far as I know - so that isn't an option. I don't know whether the Fireflies used the standard US T-48 or T-51 tracks, but if they did, Fruil makes these as well.

hi there iam geting some fuil tracks this week,
i think they will hook me also,
and how hard are they to do build

Hi Tazz-

They are really easy to put together.. very nice. What tracks are you getting?

Just a tip that I found usefull - I don't paint Fruil tracks at all, I use Blacken-It. I build the set of tracks, then soak them in vinegar for about 15 minutes (this cleans off the mold release). Then I pour about an inch of Blacken-It in a plastic cup and submerse the tracks for 10 minutes exactly.... I think it looks pretty good. Here are a couple of pictures of the results you can get. These tracks have NOT been painted at all...... I just used Blacken-It solution and stuck 'em on the tank. I did hit the faces a bit with sandpaper to show some bare metal.
