Tamiya Leo 1 A4 tracks

Post by dgsselkirk »

Hi Guys,

I am building a Canadian Leo 1 A5 actually but started with a Tamiya Leo 1 A4. Bought the stupidly priced A5 resin turret kit. It is beautifully done and a ton of parts but man, expensive! So thought what the hell, might as well upgrade the tracks to the newer version. So placed an order with Mitosal for their upgrade version:
http://www.mitosal.com/Leopard1A4.htm

Low and behold I get an e-mail that they have quality issues and will not be shipping. Damn! So my question is they look so close to Leo 6 upgrade metal tracks,

Anyone know if they will work on the Tamiya A4 ???

Sorry, what I meant to say was full set of tracks for Leo 1. I can find them from AFV for the Leo 2 but as I said I'm not sure if they work... :-)

I purchased a set for my Tam Leo 1 build from AFV last year and they came unassembled.....lots and lots of parts! As I recall they took about 6 weeks from the time I ordered before they had them available to ship.

Don't see them listed anywhere now?? Below is the order data from my order form.
