I am looking for vinyl or rubber tracks for a 1:35 Shilka.  Are these available and, if so, does anybody have or know where to purchase them?

If you can find a Trumpteter SA-6 Gainful, those will work...  They share the same chassis.... HTH.
The SA-6 came with link and Vinyl.

hi 
a company called masterbox makes decent indi tracks and are great to assemble and easy and look so much better than dragons, I bought the rb models gun upgrade set and the shilka will be great looking when done.
if this helps Mike

These are like trying to find chicken teeth. Actually, I can't find anything except Friul tracks.

Ah.  You mean Masterclub, not Masterbox.  They are cheaper on Hobbyeasy.  Don't know why they weren't a result when I searched for them.

I'm still interested in the vinyl tracks.  I want to go a new direction, from indi links.

Matt,
I'm pretty sure I have a spare Shilka sitting in my shop. IIRC, it has two sets of track. One is vinyl for sure, but not sure if it actually belongs to the kit. I'll take a look and let you know what I may have.

Thanks. The indi links included in the kit are too close to tolerance. I can't assemble the tracks, without them being in place.
