I really want to try and make a comeback to scalemodelling after being away for a few years. One of my shelfqueens is a Trumpeter T54, but it is missing it's tracks and sprockets. I'd like to finish that one as a North Vietnamese tank.
Can someone help me out with a matching set? Preferably of a better quality than Trumpeter's. Offcourse I am willing to pay for them, but an aftermarketset would be twice the price of the kit itself and I am in no position to spend that much right now.

Thanks!!!

Hi Ron,
I've got a set of Fruil T-55 tracks that I could sell you for $20 + postage. Sorry, I don't have any sprockets or any other type of tracks. e-mail me if you are interested at:
csosinus "at" verizon "dot" com
(replace "at" with @ and "dot" with a period ".")

Good Luck,
Cory

Hi Cory,
I do appreciate your offer, but I am actually looking for some plastic tracks or even rubberband.
Don't have any experience with fruils and I think they'd be a bit of overkill for trumpeter's kit.
I'm actually hoping for someone who did use them on their Tamiya- or even Esci-kit...

I've got the Tamiya parts if you're interested. PM me... I'm guessing shipping might be expensive, but I haven't looked.
