I got myself a Christmas present a few weeks ago. It is the Hobby Boss T-50 kit. This tank is a cute little bugger and the kit looks great in the box. I am a bit worried about the teeny-tiny PE parts. I'm only just now starting to work with PE for my long term Korean War T-34/85 project. That is going pretty well, but the parts are a lot bigger . . .

Looking ahead to this T-50 project I thought I would see about some of the Fruil metal tracks. The Fruil website does not list a set for this model. Will the tracks for another tank work or does someone else make a set of working tracks to fit the HB kit?

Is Fruil likely to make a set of T-50 tracks?

As far as I know there are no aftermarket T50 tracks from any manufacturer. Will there be any? If there will be I would look to a Russian manufactur like master club to make rhem.

The kit looks really nice in the box and the tank itself is an attractive one so I would hope that someone would make a set soon. I thought it might also be possible that tracks for another kit might work with this one.

Ah well, I have plenty of project lined up so I'll sit on this one and see if anything develops.
