The Sherman ones won’t fit the Pershing will they?

[FredtheFrench]

Not same tracks. For Sherman, if I m right, it is T66 model.

Tamiya's Sherman and Pershing use the same track (though the Pershing's is longer). No idea on other brands.

Tracks are not quite the same, Eric. The Sherman ones have a square-shaped center guide that is too wide to fit the Pershing roadwheels; while the Pershing tracks have a thinner, double-pointed center guide. The end connectors and track shoes are the same, though.

Fred - PM sent regarding the tracks. -Mike

Thanks for the correction. I thought they were the same on both. Good to have wise OLD sages here!
