Folks, I have an opportunity to get hold of a Super Pershing converted Tamiya with the long long looooong barrel, ersatz frontal armour , and the checks/winged mantlet.
From what I have read this version was active in WW2 but has no confirmed action reports.
Wondering from you out there that know American tanks and Tamiya ones more specifically, can KV1 tracks run on the sprockets ?
I know the tamy Pershing has late/post war tracks & thats no help to me.
Appreciate any thoughts

This one. The tracks on it in these pics are not on it now though.

Hi! KV tracks will not fit I tried. I send you PM about tracks.

Yep, received and replied Mr k.
A work in progress.

I think the KV1 track on Pershing idea came from Frankie, but he was doing it with Heng Long.

You need some nice T66 tracks, time to spend some money Mr Bix…

On the heng longs I've seen guys use the KV-1 track, but they have to use the sprockets from the M41.

The T81 tracks are hard to come by.

I don't know if I'm talking out of my rear, but, won't Tamiya Sherman tracks work?

Tamiya Sherman T66 tracks would fit. You just need a few more links.

They're still around? They didn't show up in my googling. Neat.
