Can someone point me in the right direction on this one?
I'm looking for tracks for a dragon firefly and M4A4. I tried to build them, but it was only an exercise in frustration.

I'm looking for any of the variants of track. I know that AFV club makes the steel cleat type, but Haven't found them in stock yet.

(side note) If anyone wants to donate, or trade for the dragon workables, I'm up for it.

Dubanka,

Do I understand this right, you're looking for the AFV aftermarket tracks for the Sherman'Firefly'?

Tread.

If so, I'm going to my local hobby shop, I'll see if they have them in stock.

Just head on over to Greatmodels, they have a set there.

This is what you're looking for right? M4 T49 tracks

Yes, AM rubber bands. If everyone hates them so much, I'll gladly take them off of your hands. I'll even send you my much dreaded workable links.

Thanks for the link though

AFV Club makes two different vinyl sets of the metal 3-bar cleat tracks used on the M4A4 chassis. One is slightly longer for the elongated hull and one is for the normal hull. I bought a set of the short ones for $7.98 and my local shop had both sets for the same price. It is the same track style as DML includes with their Firefly and M4A4 kits. I don't have the tracks with me so I don't know the exact part number.
