Hi guys,

Can anyone of you help me on a set of Tamiya Sherman tracks? Any type will do, but....if you have a set from the Jumbo,(with the duckbill connectors), you would really help me out a lot!!

Thanks in advance, John.

Uh, gentlemen, I think you may have a bit of confusion about your "duckbills."

DW is looking for Tamiya steel chevron tracks with "duckbills" -- also known as extended end connectors -- on the ends of the track pads.

Mr. Mox has an M10 with a "duckbill" counterweight on the turret. The tracks in this kit do not have "duckbills" -- they are T51 rubber block tracks.

We know, or at least i know, but he also stated "any type will do", and my type is the free one ... so i guess he´ll have to do ... :-)
