The Russians were supplied with 4102 M4A2 Shermans under lend-lease. All it would need would be renumbering!

To get back on topic, I would also suggest ebay. You can get metres of the stuff for not very much.

I hadn't expected the howitzer fitted types to have been supplied under the lend lease arrangement but having just checked with Wici' they apparently were BUT having also checked out the images the arrangement must have included a clause where the Shermans had to be kept uncluttered and with no slogans. How boring!! They look better in sloppy, untidy and unprofessional US hands :wtf:

As for Eastern Fronts, shhh! If you tell anyone l'll just deny it ;)

I like to use cheap costume jewelry and buy it in person since you can never tell the size and shape of the chain easily online.

Same here, when I waltz into the bead making supplies shop & get asked what I need & what for, the answer just confuses and terrifies them !!
Once I went and it was a Saturday "beading club" meeting at the shop............bunch of old bags sitting around comparing ailment stories :/
Seemed to take ages like time slowed down, for me to find the chain, pay & bug-out.
But the stuff is good.

Little chains from rc tank de. Makes the rear of tank look a little better and a brass track holder is more robust than the Taigen plastic ones on my Panther F :D
Much better than the plastic version

Local crafts stores usually have small/ fine linked chain in abundance!
