Thats a great looking Sherman you have there Paul! :thumbup: How's she running?

What are the tracks like? Are they all plastic, or metal guides and rubber blocks like i've heard?

Cheers,
Rik

new update just have to add paint too the units , O and a mod if you have to, as one sprocket rounded on one of the shafts i decided to drill and pin and wire it,s not for the faint hearted and you must double check that you drill it in the right place start small and open up the hole until the pin is a tight/firm fit in case you wish to remove it............
Fleshy.....................
Also of note that a extra link has to be added if useing the old sherman tub from the 1970,s...
we know not why but is does!!...............
