i'm having a bear of a time w/ the trumpeter as-90 link and length tracks, almost to the point of completly destroying them. are there any kind of after market tracks that i could use?

Accurate Armour does a set of resin tracks for them, but they are length and link as well. They are 1/35.

Are you talking about the 1/72 Trumpeter AS-90 though, since my 1/35 kit came with 1 piece vinyl tracks?

sorry, thought the discussion group tag was for braille scale, it is the 1/72. it's not really the link n length that's the problem, it's trumps plastic is soft and the connections are very delicate so they are getting softer even w/ a touch of cement.

Gino,

I wish that the AS-90 that I bought that is the same as yours had come with the one piece vinyl tracks as the build it yourself things that mine came with in that scale were totally brain killing....one wrong move and they disintegrated, even had I managed to successfully use them all, there did not seem to be enough to make two runs. Luckily the missing bits were hidden on the top. The kit I enjoyed but the tracks almost made me give up and had I not wanted to give it to my son mounted on a plinth with a Royal Artillery badge, that he wore as a gunner, it would probably have gone for a test flight out of the window.

Killercurt,
The Braille Scale tag was not showing when I first replied. It is there now.

jlmurk,
I am talking about teh 1/35 scale kit. It comes with vinyl one-piece tracks.

soooo, are there any available?

I don't think there is a set of aftermarket tracks for the AS-90. In fact, I believe Eduard makes the only AM (PE) available for the AS-90.

You can hunt and peck through http://www.ontheway.org.uk/default.htm by going to the kit list and previews and checking the accessories category.
