Need 1/25 scale set of tank tracks and associated "wheels and drivers"

[sclqa]

I am completely scratch building an obscure military vechicle that is Corvair powered. It is the Canadair CL-91/Army XM-571 Dynatrack articulated personnel carrier. All I have is the Corvair Engine and a lot of Photos and drawings. I will also need some flat plate (plastic like from a large tank (but this one will be 1/25. It is small - 1 bout 8 ft long full size. I know the a lot of tanks are don in 1/35 scale and this would make the vechicle 2- 2.5" long (?) hence the larger 1/25 scale.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

You can get "flat plate" as sheet styrene made by Evergreen.

As far as tracks and road wheels are concerned, I doubt any production 1/25 tank kits will look anything like what you need. Very few tanks shared tracks/road wheels with other vehicles. I have an unbuilt Tiger tank in 1/25, but it would make your project the tracked equivalent of Bigfoot. The Tiger weighed about 60 tons, IIRC.

looking at pictures of the Canadair CL-91 I would suggest using tracks from a small 1/35th scale or maybe a large 1/48th scale tank. they should be close to what you need in 1/25th scale.
