Hi everyone.
Apologies as this might have gone to the wrong forum first.
Just a quick question if anyone can help.... I am currently doing an extensive cut-away of the excellent MiniArt SU 122 Early (my sample had a badly warped upper deck so used that as an excuse to do something radical). Can anyone advise on the best and correct metal replacement track set for this vehicle? The model will not be painted apart from primer grey and red cut-lines and lovely shiny metal shoes for it are wanted as part of the display.
Any help and advice is most welcome.
Cheers

Unless I am incorrect, the SU-122 used the 500mm tracks, not the early war 550mm ones. Fruil ATL-09 tracks for the T-34/85 should be the ones you want for metal. This is off the top of my head, but since the first SU-122 were not made until Dec 1942, I think this is correct.
