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 – US style steel cleat with
gaps in the ends of the links - as 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.
Overall these are a worthwhile investment for any M4 modeler
or “Shermaholic” as we call ourselves!
Thanks to Freddie Leung for the review sample.
