Greetings all,

Finally after many years of wait bought my first King Tiger;
Dragon #6354 Battle of the Bulge, off this site's FS/FT forum.

UNFORTUNATELY the person who sold me this kit stated that it was complete--not telling me that a few small bits (which I can replace) AND THE TRACKS were NOT included.
--Greatly disappointed in him.

So now I need to find some tracks.
This kit comes with the 9 tooth drive sprocket, will the Tamiya or the Hobbyboss set work?
I figure the HBs will cost me $15-20 and the Tamiya about $25

I'm between jobs right now so dropping $35-45 on a metal set and then needing to purchase the stain for them, isn't all that practical.

Unless there is someone with a set of vinyl one piece battle-width tracks they're willing to part with for a reasonable price.

Many thanks.

Sorry to hear about the problems you ran into. You might want to post the trader's name, so that others thinking about buying from him might be forewarned. Running into vendors at shows who pull that crap is bad enough, without having to put up with it when you mail order a kit in!

Wish I could help you out, but I have no spare KT tracks, of any type, at this time.

I have a set of Tamiya one-piece tracks laying around, you're welcome to them if nothing else comes up.

Thank you both, I've gotten an offer for the Tamiya set.
