I have an Old Tamiya kit that I got for free. I want to go ahead and build it despite its inaccuracies. Can anybody tell me what individual track links I should get for this.
Thanks
Jeff

Look for tracks marketed for the PzKpfw IV. I know DML, Fruilmodel, Model Kasten and Academy make single link replacement tracks. I wish you luck in your project.

I would highly recommend the friulmodel tracks for the pzkpfw IV/Brumbar, they will probably do a set of tracks for the Brumbar as it is based on a late version of the panzer IV. They are the best because they are metal! Have wire that you use as track pins & are fully moveable and therfore hang with the correct sag! But they are expensive being around £23.00 but well worth every penny! (the best place to find them in Europe is Historex agents!) Hope this is of help!
