I need some info regarding the make-up and painting of Sherman tracks.I have a M4A1,I was wondering about the chevrons on the tracks,are they the ony rubber or is the whole block that they sit on rubber,also how about the inside of the track that goes around the wheels,is that rubber or metallic.I think the outside pieces are metallic.hope I made myself clear

thanks for any help

Which M4A1 is it? the early with the 75 mm gun or an M4A1/76?
If
this
is the track you mean then yes the chevron and block are all one piece rubber. The teeth and end connectors are steel. More info here

I have a Dragon M4A1 early and i am wondering where i can find a gluable rubber track set in the rubber chevron type?

Both the Tamiya M4 Early production kit and the Tamiya M4A3 Frontline Breakthrough edition come with glueable T48 rubber chevron tracks.

Hey Howland,

AFV Club used to produce a set one piece glue-able T48 rubber chevron tracks but they're now discontinued.
You can order replacement track sets from Tamiya if you use the order form on the back page of their instruction sheets for the Sherman M4 and M4A3 75mm and 105mm kits.
My Japanese is nonexistent but it looks like the tracks cost 390 Yen ( about $3.86 Cdn.)
The tracks are listed as parts # 0443180.
There is an online shop in Japan that you can order them from but I can't find their website.
Perhaps one of the other guys knows the site.
Cheers
