Oh BTW, sgtreef...nice pics! That's got to be a lot of help regarding the different tracks available for the Sherm' ! Good work.

Tread.

P.S. It looks to me like you're more of a Shermanaholic then you think!

BTW, in case I'm typing it incorrectly, it's TREAD (short for TreadHead), not THREAD.

Hey! Just noticed you've both joined the General Staff!!

Tehnnnnn Hut!!!

Okay on those Fruil you will love them, I gather you have never used them they are killer especially when you do say a Tiger or Panther kit or T/34.. Just pay close attention to each link as some might be a little off maybe a piece of track where pin goes thru is not their{I think I found the only one in the whole set}. Take it from me I missed one up the line cause these were real small but don't superglue the pins in until you get the links on the Tank to make sure of this then remove the run and glue away. And get youself a good pair of FLUSH SIDE Cutters. and use Brass wire instead of the supplied wire much better and easier. And allways leave one pin loose no glue even after applied incase down the road you want to do something else or put them on a different Sherman. If any more questions shoot me PM.


Oh yes use a small drill bit same size as your wire to clean up hole. Took me about 6 hours to get two runs very easy after you get going.
A liitle tip just have about 5 or 6 wires going at the same time insert in the hole one at a time push till it seats then pull back a slick flush cut push back in done. I tried the cut wire first kind of hard to cut little wires all the same every time at least to me it was
