For
a number of years modelers first complained that they wanted single link tracks,
and when they got them they complained they wanted one-piece tracks back again.
DML has gone both ways, and this is another of their nice sets of VVSS Sherman
track now available separately. This
set is the T54E1 track, the U.S. style steel cleat with gaps in the ends of the
linksas fitted with extended end connectors. These are suitable for many
applications with M4 series tanks and related vehicles, and with some work will
also work on other manufacturers M4 series kits as well. (That usually pertains
to the drive wheels and perhaps the length of the tracks). As with all of the
DS tracks, detail rivals resin but the tracks are flexible and assemble with any
good plastic cement. Advantages:
permits upgrade or replacement of Sherman single-link tracks with one-piece DS
tracks; EEC in place. Permits upgrading older DML or other M3 or M4 kits with
modern, state-of-the-art single piece track runs. However, the tracks may be a
little bit long for easy fit Overall,
these are a worthwhile investment for any M4 modeler or Shermaholic
as we call ourselves! Thanks
to Freddie Leung for the review sample. -Cookie
