Title: Battlewagons T34 Su-85, Su-100 tracks
Post by: BattlewagonBruce on March 07, 2012, 11:52:09 AM
I have got round to starting a Su-100 using the track system I mastered and had cast at the end of last year.

Thought I would post some Wip shots. I am thinking of offering these as an aftermarket kit. You can put together a articulated track and place spare links on the AFV.

Looks good   :o  but also like a real pain to assemble...  :?

I am assembling them as we speak. They are not to bad actually. They push fit quite easily and you just need to get a bit of an assembly line going!

The Friul ones have to be drilled and pinned individually, but they are then fully articulated! That would be a real pain!

Thanks for the kind comment. I will post more shots as they come together - only 70 links to go!

I might be interested in those tracks. Are they made for the Corgi SU-100 or the Solido version?

The will fit The solido and the old Corgi. I have not tried them on a New Corgi T-34, if you have one send me a shot of the wheels with tracks off.

I could send you a sample of two pieces to test fit.

I am trying to get a Corgi T-34 to have a go myself.

The one in the picture is the 1970's SU-100, one of my favs.

They will be in sets of 80 links, enough for two tracks and some spares for the hull I am pricing them at the moment.

A SU-100 I did before I made the new tracks.

Thank you for your kind comments

What do LAFer's think would be a fair price point. I suggest £12UKP for 80 links.
