The tracks are Canadian Dry Pin type. They wouldn't have been wartime factory issue, they were either fitted by the museum or at least during service.

That's great information. Saves Mr Alwyn from track printing

I'm definitely not printing tracks for this, I'll stick with standard sherwani track.

Also the tracks on the photos Mick provided look like panzer IV pieces, or did they also come with standard sherman tracks?

They do look like Panzer III, IV tracks. The VVSS suspension M4 and variants used around a dozen different tracks, some with rubber pads and some with steel treads/cleats. Yet I find nothing that resembles those "Panzer" tracks.

Thanks Carl, it's quite fun to do

Anyway moving along I've got the barrel design done

Next is the job I'm not looking forward to which is the mantlet, maybre it'll be easier than I think
