Through the help of Sabot I was able to get the old Heller AMX-13 155mm SP gun How are those Heller AMX-13 series to build? Has anyone ever built this variant? I was looking for AM tracks ,as the kit ones seem awful
I looked for Friulmodel and Model Kasten and no luck

Unfortunately there are no AM track sets I can't speak for your particular kit but the standard AMX 13/75 built up fairly well aside fromr the somewhat over thick light gaurds. I do remember mention of using hetzer track due to their similar but not exact same appearence. anI just remembered that Accurate armour produces a resin set of track for the AMX series I have it is aeveral legnths to be glued and bent tomake the track run. the detail is fair and the work involved in bending and gluing may be too much trouble.

Thanks for the reply Joshua Not sure if I'll get the AA tracks They do seem like they are more trouble than they are worth

My only real complaint about this is the goofy multi part hull, but even that went together well. I built the Israeli version and a second turret to add to a Sherman to make an Egyptian tank.
