Ok I have the Academy M10 it comes with T49 3 bar cleat tracks which seem to be only used for french or british M10's..

I am considering my options to chage these to either T51 rubber block or a chevorn style such as the T54 or T62.

My question is does anyone out there know if any of the rubber band tracks from any other sherman kits be it tamiya or other fit the academy M10..

or does any of the AFV club rubber band style Sherman tracks fit this tank.. (they are avaliable here)..

or does any other type of aftermarket track fit this thing.. (rubber band or link by link.. )...

Just need to get some input so I can decide which way I want to go with this thing..

Also the extra's spruce in this kit include 2 rubber block type track extenders for extending a rubber band track.. does anyone know if they will work with tamiya tracks from another kit?...

thanks all

and laters...

Hi-
I know for a fact that AFV T49 tracks fit the academy M10 (that's what I used- they're more supple than the acadremy ones).
I would guess their other types will fit just as well, but I'm sure someone better qualified will answer that!
