Hi all,
Since my last post, where I asked which Pershing to buy, I came one big step further; I've bought the Tamiya M26 Pershing today!!
Well, to be honoust, I'm very happy with it...except for one thing; the rubberband tracks!! I like the pattern, but the overall appearence is not very nice.
So can anyone tell me which kind of tracks the rubberband are, and, if the same kind come in AM tracks?
Hope you all can help me out, John.

The only one to make these tracks is a company called WWII Productions ..you can find thier E-mail on PMMS ..It took only a week to get from Australia to my door step ...Great service ...Now these tracks have alot of clean up to do on them but are worth it ...

DW, the Tamiya kit's vinyl tracks are type T81.
AFV Club also makes AM tracks for her: Kit # 35036 T80E1 Steel type.

To add to Kencelot's comment. The AFV Club tracks are nice, just be aware you need to modify the drive sprocket to fit (i believe the tamiya sprockets are too narrow). There was a post around here somewhere (or PMMS) about how to fix (add a spacer) to the tamiya sprockets to fit the AFV Club tracks....they ARE nice though. Good luck!!
