Friulmodel has 4 sets of tracks for the Tiger II. ALT-16,22,37 and 41. Can someone please tell me which set is correct for the Tamiya "Production Turret" kit #35164? I tried finding reviews but didn't have much luck.

I was wondering this same thing, except I have the Academy kit.

Since 35164 has the Serien-Turm, you have two choices if you plan on installing combat tracks:
ATL-16, which are Kgs 73/800/300 tracks consisting of a track and solid bridge link using an 9 tooth drive sprocket; or, if you want to build either of the two KT's with late pattern tracks
ATL-37, late pattern Kgs 73/800/152 single link tracks. These were tested on some TII's during the Ardennes offensive and were used on some late-final production TII's fitted with an 18 tooth sprocket. This set contains the proper replacement sprockets.
