Picked up the Trumpeter Type 62 and while it is a nice little kit, the indy link tracks are terrible as the guide horns have no detail.I do not see aftermarket tracks for this tank. Are the pt-76 tracks usable on this kit?

I not certain but I do not believe the tracks will work they look the same but not close enough. I think you will have more problems with the barrel (no after market on this either). If you check the Missing Lynx website they discussed this model and tank in detail. I love the kit just wish some one would do some aftermarket corrections

The solid guide horns might look weird, but they are accurate for that era of T-55 / Type 62. The tracks in the kit will require a little bit of cleanup but short of buying a set of Fruils they are your best bet.
