Did the Soviets use the same type track on these tanks.I know the T-10M was longer and used more links.The reason I am asking is because I had problems with Mengs T-10M track and the individual pins joining links together.I am thinking of using Tamiya link and lenght tracks from the JS-2 and JSU-152. Or using the tracks from Trumpeters T-10M.

Hi, I wonder what was the problem with Meng tracks?

The way you install the pins in the jig to the tracks.Mine were bending and not going in right.I have listed my problems on missing lynx and in the armor column here under Old Warlocke's build.

Is it just the pins bending or is the whole kit moulded in the bendy plastic?

Just the individual track pins.There are 2 types and since they have to slide into the tracks they are pretty thin.

The Tracks T-10M and JSU-152 are not the same. The Track T-10M in the width 750mm, so broad as in the JSU-152nd The chains of the tanks T-10M were also used in the 70s to the tanks Recoverie.
