Hello:

I heard from fellow modellers that the T-55 track sets by Fruilmodel won't fit in the sprokets of the main manufacturers of the kits. I recently brough the Takom one and I want to know if someone here has experience any difficulties working with that tracks.

Hope can I get some feedback.

Best regards.

Well I just built a T-55AM2B from Takom and I used a set of wokable RMSH tracks from Trumpeter I had left over from an old build. They worked great and fit the sprocket just fine. I know these are not Friumold set and I can not speak for them but these could be a cheaper alternative.

Depends on which T-55 kit and which tracks you have. The Fruilmodel T-54/555/62 (OMSH) tracks, you need the early version drive sprockets. If you want to use RMSH tracks order the T-72 tracks and they work fine with the newer drive sprockets.


Learned this through experience. Bought the OMSH set and they don't work on the new drive sprockets.

Just like in real life. In one case the sprocket has 13 teeth, in the other it has 14 teeth.
