Hi guys; got the CyberHobby Orange Box [#9102] M4A4 Sherman 75mm with bonus US tank crew (NW Europe 1944) from an estate collection; it has DS tracks ('nuff said); was wondering if there are aftermarket sets that will fit this particular kit; thanks

Most Sherman after market link to link includes enough to do the extended hull. I'm actually using the ancient Dragon link to link that comes in the orange box Sherman V firefly.

The M4A4 is usually seen with t62 Steel cuff track and there are a number of sets of AM available from Model Kasten, Fruilmodel, Bronco and RHPS/PANDA (and probably more). Of those I would recommend the PANDA ones or the Bronco ones. If you want the T48 that the kit came with. then go with Either Bronco, AFV Club or PANDA. I do not recommend Fruil for any Sherman kit as you will struggle to keep sag out of it. The Kit tracks are really quite good and very popular so you wont have a problem offloading them to a Shermaholic
