I have just started one of these:
https://www.scalemates.com/kits/tiger-model-4612-t-90ms-mbt--999574
I am going to use Masterclub tracks on it.
Please can someone tell me how many links there should be per track?
Masterclub give no indication and the generally good kit instructions don't say either.

For the T-72 family you usually need around 92/93 links per track.

Thanks for the reply but there are only 180 links supplied are you sure your information is correct?

How many links are the kit tracks made up of ? I'd think it's safe to assume you would need about the same number of links for aftermarket tracks.

Did you count the links or go by what was on the box? I have some Masterclub Sherman tracks and they mostly have extras in that box.

If you are short the missing links will be hidden by the side skirts.

My mistake. The right number is 84.
