kpnuts Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I don't know what scale the kit you have is, and I don't know much about armour but I'm pretty sure you can buy tracks for 1/35 tanks, most car kits I've bought are 1/24 25 so I recon that may be, however you could cut down the 1/35 tracks to suit, I know I was building a 1/24 dio and needed a bulldozer in that scale (they wanted over 100 quid for one in that scale) so I bought a1/16 bulldozer for 12 quid and cut it down.

Tom Geiger Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Be careful using pen on model parts. A black Sharpie will bleed when painted over with certain paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I have a set of Rommel's Rod tracks you can have. They are a bit large, but you can probably shorten them.Send me a P.M. with your addy.Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell C Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 One other option, if you rather not do all that scratchbuilding & kit piece gathering, is to find one of the Memory Lane toy versions. Steeply priced on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Santa-Claus-Comin-Town-Vehicle/dp/B0001WUZM0 , but I got mine several years ago via an ebay sale for around $30. If I was to guess, it looks like maybe 1:12 scale. It's now part of my Christmas decorations every year, I loved that show when I was a kid.

Davewilly Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) I used a Stewart M3 tank for this one...It is a Tamiya kit. The tracks are a rubber material...I would think they would be easy to shorten to fit your needs Edited September 6, 2016 by Davewilly moire info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge5522 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Ok thanks for info it's been very useful here's an update on front end scratch made all front parts and sky's hope u like it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Here's an idea for tracks. A 1/35th scale model of this would look just right under your wagon. Several kits are produced, it's a Russian B-4 M1931 203mm howitzer. I do not have one, otherwise I'd send it to you. If you want, now that I'm home, I will look in my stash and see what tank wheels and tracks I can find. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
