hi guys,
I was hooping some one could tell me what type of tracks I should use for a BTR-50.
I am thinkging it would be the ones like on the ZSU-23.

But am not sure, could also be MTLD tracks
Can any one help me with this one?

TIA,
Jan-Willem

It used the same ones found on the PT-76. I do not think they are like ZSU-23-4 tracks, but I am not sure.

Noone makes PT-76 tracks. You would need to get ahold of a Eastern Express kit for the tracks (not worth it). Many people have fudged and used the ZSU-23-4 tracks as they are close, but not correct.

I had been looking at the ZSU tracks and the only real differnce I could find where the two holles on eatch track link
I'll just have to wait and see how bad the kit tracks are and if it justifice spending more money on a set of ZSU tracks.
thanks
