Heng Long M26 WW2 Tracks

Post by Hogeli Bogeli »

Hello there!

So I've been working on a HL M26 for many years, I always seem to find some new detail I want to add to it..

I've been looking into getting the WW2 tracks for it, seeing as the tracks I have currently are the later version seen on M26s in Korea, and I have gone for a WW2 Pershing. However, I can't seem to find them anywhere. Tankzone.co.uk have them but it's for tamiya gearboxes.. does anybody know if they'll fit the Heng Long gearbox? (I've got the metal one).

I recall someone on the forum who used KV-1 tracks, as they resemble the WW2 tracks... but I have no idea if they'll fit the sprockets on the Pershing...

Thanks in advance!

You mean frank. I have one of the Pershing at home. I also have some spare kv track links in mato and HL so I will try them against the spare m26 sprocket I have and let you know which is best fit, but looking at the m26 in cologne the kv-1 track are very close in looks and would be cheapest option
