I have a set of those tracks but as yet have not managed to fit them.

I'm struggling to get the pins out even with the correct size punch.Also I'm not sure which way the pins go in to stop the ends coming off or I am just being a bit dense ?

@Alpha, I got the tracks from Dave (forgebear) and yes, the pin-up's hand painted

Very cool fynsdad

they really add something different to the SHERMAN.... nice job on the pin ups

... I forgot to ask on the other sherman thread

A lot of skill you have there...takes a good eye to create such art
I'm a fan

I've just ordered a set of these from Dave for one of my shermans. I already have a set of plain T74 tracks which are vey nice indeed. These look really great too, so cant wait for mine to arrive now.
I found the T74's needed the links pinching up tight for them to run smooth, so just wondering how these were Frank?

Good Morning,
Have you ever thought about offering dry decals of your pinups? Either singles or sheets, I'd be in the market for some. Just an idea which you may have had tossed at you before.
regards,
Painless

I thought the only kind of graphics the germans would find was a little fella known as Kilroy
Nice work fynsdad...on the artist's sketch pad and the PANTHER

I think this was the first post I saw by fynsdad.... and where I first found out about those Duckbills
Guess what fynsdad... found a better way to separate those tracks... grab the Duckbill with a vise grip or needle nose pliers and pull them apart

The new shoes are nice, but the pin ups are fantastic
