I just brought Tamiya's KV-1B (cheap), and was wondering if anyone knows of any aftermarket tracks for it.
Hyperscale (I think) had a review on some, but they bid not have a brand name, which I guess makes doing a review on them kinda pointless ...........

Model Kasten makes what I believe are the only 1/35 aftermarket tracks for the KV-1, however they are quite difficult to find. Other than that you could use the individual links from Dragon'/DML soviet heavies, but those are hard to find as well

Friulmodel makes a set of tracks. Check http://www.discountmodels.com for them.

Thanks for the info, hopefuly I can find one of the Dragon kits cheap somewhere.
The Fruilmodel tracks would work out way too expensive by the time I got them over here. ( too many neat kits I could buy for that sort of money )

Hi,

The ModelKasten ones are available at Hannant (UK) and GreatModels (US) and are very good. I'm using them on the old TAMIYA KVII.
