Hi everyone,
I have a small question about the Tamiya Kit No. 35346 - U.S. Medium Tank M4A3E8 Sherman “Easy Eight” European Theatre.
I would like to build this kit as the 'Fury' tank from the movie, but the Tamiya kit uses the T66 tracks which were not mounted onto the Fury tank. I was wondering if there are any kind of replacement tracks available for this kit?
Thanks and kind regards
Steven

You'll want AFV Club's T84 rubber block tracks. Can't say if they'll fit the Tamiya sprockets though - they should?
Also, if you want to really copy the movie version, it's an M4A2 76mm tank, not an M4A3.

Hello Jim,
Thanks for the help and info
Although those T66 are more historical correct I still like to mount those T84 tracks and indeed maybe look for a new turret as well.
Thanks & kind regards
