Does anybody have a recommendation on individual track links for the Tamiya Pershing?

Get a set of Fruil tracks. They are a bit pricey but the aggrivation saved and the look make it worth it.

Partsman,here is a link to some from WW 2 productions They are made in Australia As far as I know they are the only maker of them

I traded my vinyl Tamiya Pershing tracks to a friend who was building the DML kit. He in turn gave me the AFV Club workable individual track links that he bought to replace the DML tracks as well as the kit tracks. He didn't have the finger dexterity to work with either the kit tracks or the AFV Club tracks and wanted vinyl.

The AFV Club tracks he gave me were the later chevron style, but I'm not certain if they were the steel or rubber chevron style. These are double pin tracks and are different from the single pin tracks the Tamiya kit represents. Links to the two different types are below.

I'd think there were aftermarket single pin tracks available, other than the individual track links that come with the old DML T26E3 Pershing kit. Thanks for the link Chad.

I haven't gotten around to building my Tamiya Pershing so I can offer the AFV single link tracks in trade for your vinyl tracks if you need them. Like I told my friend, old style, new style, vinyl or individual, it doesn't really matter to me.



I'm not familiar with Fruilmodel tracks for the Pershing tank. Do you have a stock number? I do not see them advertised under Chesapeake Model Designs Fruilmodel track listing. Of course, it is possible that their listing isn't comprehensive.

Gunnie's M45 Pershing

I purchased both sets of AFV Club's individual track links when I modeled my M45 Pershing. I liked them - the link is above. Noteworthy, I had to widen the Drive Sprocket to fit them to the Tamiya model kit - as the later track style is wider than the early fit.

Thanks for the info. I have emailed for a price. I have never heard of them but they look good.

I've got a set of WWII Production tracks and they are amazing ....they do need a good bit of clean up but well worth the time I spent on them ....They click together and are very solid ...are they expensive??? Damn right they are but will bring your model up to another level..they are great for showing off the movable suspension...I took some pictures last night and should get them on line either today or tomorrow...I'll let you know .

How much were those bad boys? I made need financing.

I don't think Friul does Pershing tracks only Armor track models and AFV club!!

By the time they got to me up here in Canada the cost me $65.00 canadian ...I think you can get them at mission models for $45.00 U.S .. Worth every penny ..be ready to clean em up though...nothing my exacto couldn't handle!! great service from Australia ..less than a week to the east coast of Canada ...

p.s. here's a picture of what they look like
