Need help on the Macquette seperate track link for the T-34 tank
Can these track link be used on Tamiya T34/76 model ? Will there be any fitting problem ?
Has anyone tried this combination before ?
Thanks in advance

Assuming you use their early style set (35025) it should at least be prototypical. They also do a waffle pattern, like the ones in ther T-34/D-30. The Maquette drive wheel is of a slightly larger diameter than the Tamiya one,but not enough so that the guide teeth (only four come into play) won't fit. Also no problems with fender differences/clearances. Go for it. Anything looks better than the Tamiya track.
Here's a pic of the waffle track on a T-34/122:

I've got an extra set of the Maquette single link tracks, set number MQ-35025, for the early T-34.

Go for it, I used them on my T-34/76 model 1942, and they look much better than the standard Tamiya tracks!
