Sherman VVSS Track Opinion T48 or T49?

Post by X82d Pathfinder »

Hello all:
I am working on my M4A1 Firefly Build and I have two different sets of tracks, however I haven't decided which looks better. I would like a consensus of opinion from the peanut gallery.( Yes, that's those who are watching the build) :haha: I have the T48 Chevron rubber track on left side and the T49 metal cleat on the right. They are opposite in the spare track mount on the trans cover. Let me know what you think.

Just my opinion, not based on any historic ground, just what looks good.....T48 Rubber Chevron.

If she is going to be a fighter, go with the plastic tracks. With mediem tanks, there are the fast ones and the dead ones.

T49s always looked to me like T60s with the rubber blocks off. ;o) Go with the T48s.

Well,
The reference photo actually has T48 tracks, however I have both and was debating what to use.
