I need the running gear, for an M50 in 35 scale.

Depending on what track you want, Tasca's 35L35 or 35L36.

AFVClub has 35030 also, but you'll need to source track.

I'll get whichever track fits the suspension. I'll be using Authenti-Kit's M4a4, as a base.

35L35 has the HVSS with T80 track; and 35L36 has the HVSS with T84 track.

Assuming you're building this for the M50 Super Sherman, you might want to research what the IDF used for tracks.

Dragon also makes a set of HVSS with tracks in 1/35 scale, but the Tasca offerings are generally considered to be the best out there.

The tracks are included, in the Tasca products.

Both fit the suspension. You need to figure out which tracks your tank came with, and buy the matching set.

It is Authenti-kit's M4A4 conversion.

I have the MP Models M50 in the stash, won't be using the suspension. It's not the greatest in the world, but it's a straight fit on the hull you have. It has the T80 (steel chevron) tracks.

I appreciate the offer. However, upon further examination, I will have to purchase a tank for the conversion. I believe the kit was originally assembled by a blind man who had eaten the wrong kind of mushrooms.

What are you trying to end up with?
Reason I ask, I have the M50 and at least one of the M4A4 hull kits gathering dust.....

I rather suspect that he means which tracks the real vehicle that you are depicting had, not what came in the kit. For example, it's very unlikely that an M50 would have had WE210 track, so you would need to consult some photos to see which types the IDF was using at the time.

Due to the shape the kit is in and the accessories it came with, I have decided to go another route. Luckily, the previous owner used ca glue and I was able to break it down. It also came with all of the necessities to build a Firefly.
