Morning everyone,
Does anyone know if the Miniarm T-64 tracks would fit the new Trumpeter T-64 kits without too much trouble?
Thanks

they should fit fine...but
the miniarm resin tracks are really brittle and are prone to breaking when assembling them. I bought the Trumpeter workable tracks for the T-64 and they are great.

I just found someone selling the Trumpy ones for $7.49 and $5 S&H on Ebay(has 10 available). Going to try those out. I was thinking of the Miniarm ones because they were cheaper then the Trumpys.
Thanks

Hi Jimmy,
I had issue's with miniarms tracks also but for a T55 & another guy in our club did as well for a T90 i would use the trumpy ones too, just my two cents worth

Yes, the Minarms will fit. Use them if you've got them, but the Trumpeter tracks are excellent as well

The kit tracks don't look to bad for being link and length but I found the individual Trupmys cheap so will give those a shot.
Thanks guys.
