I just purchased my first 1/72 tank ever. UM's T-26 1933 edition. With the exception of the many missing bolts, it looks like it may be a fun kit. The problem is the awful track. Does anybody make a replacement set?

I second what he said. I also bought a UM T-26 and was disappointed at the rubber tracks. I don't think you will be disappointed with the Part tracks.

PE tracks are tricky, but they basically fold the edges inside and the ends of the edges become the center guides.
