Metal 1/24 & 1/35 tank tracks and sprockets
Hi Guys, does anyone have a good source for metal or plastic if we must tank tracks in 1/24 & 1/35 scale? I am working on a 251 and want to use an existing metal track if possible and then either convert/machine or make new sprockets to suit my 251 1/16 model.
I think I need a roughly 16mm width track but i am flexible if it close enough.
Any help and advice greatly appreciated

Perhaps a look at what aber offer would be a good place to start. Failing that all I can suggest is something from the Tamiya range. Other than that I couldn’t say as I only do 1/16
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Have you thought about printing them in flexible PLA? You could do it in strips and glue the ends together like a traditional vinyl track.

That's excellent!
Why I Not think of that! I have 3 sets in a box under the table. Good idea. We try them out. I already designed different size sprockets for them aswell. Although metal would still be better. But that will get me going.
Thanks Wayne

I have a Tamiya 1/35 cromwell on order so I can measure it for 1/16. One done is it of any use to anyone here

Would any of the 1:24 Forces of Valor tanks do it? There's a P4 but I have no idea about the track sizes other than the T34.

Yes of course, that would also help. Do they do metal tracks for those forces of valour tanks?RobW wrote:Would any of the 1:24 Forces of Valor tanks do it? There's a P4 but I have no idea about the track sizes other than the T34.
