I have several Shermans in need of tracks. Where can you order DS tracks? Dragon didn't seem to have them on their website anymore? Thanks!

Hi Damon! Sorry about the late answer...I had my first little boy!!!
I am just as yo stuck without tracks....Fruils is my last resort since they are fast to assemble and look great. Still it sucks that we cannot get ds tracks for shermans type hull.

congrats on your new arrival!! 2 years down the line and my boy still continues to astonish and frustrate in equal measure,you're in for one helluva ride!!

On the subject of track have you had a look at Panda Plastic's line of Sherman track? track shoe and end connector,pretty darn straightforward

Nice work so far,just try and get back to the bench

Panda plastics would be my first choice. I completely refuse to build Modelkasten or Bronco Sherman tracks. A waste of time.

I used the Panda tracks on my Firefly build, they are a good option.

Sorry for the delay...I had my first baby boy and I took a kinda break for almost a year, I am semi back on the saddle with different projects.

I'll try to finish this one asap!

Robert: this is a great kit with some minor issue that prove to be just a fun challenge. Tracks are unusable as you have seen

I completely agree , I have arthritics in my hands and cant do some of these tracks , their just too tedious !! This is supposed to be a relaxing hobby ,not a job !!
