Hi all,
I have been slowly trying to build up the AM stash for my eventual HobbyBoss M4 HST build, and I see that the only individual link tracks for the T-49 steel cleat are the ones available from ModelKasten (SK-44).
My question is, if there’s anyone who has this, are there enough links in the ModelKasten set to use for the HobbyBoss kit?
I am contemplating what tracks I want to use myself as this will be up for my next build. I will be interested in the answer…if anyone knows!!
Rounds Complete!!
Do you know of any other alternatives besides the MK tracks?
I will find some time to start digging around to see how many links were used on a Sherman, and how many on an HST, so hopefully if one is close to the other, we’ve got a winner [:)]

I posted this on another forum already. I steer clear of MK tracks for Sherman variants due to their complex assembly. Use Panda instead. Much easier!!!
I think they are close. You can use almost any Sheman tracks, T48, T49, T51. I built one long ago and used an AFV T48 set without a problem.

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I have not yet had the opportunity to use MK tracks for any Sherman builds, but looking at the SK-44 set, I was looking at a ludicrous amount of time to assemble them. I’ve gone ahead and ordered the set provided in your link. With shipping, its cheaper than a set of the MKs I was looking at.
Bronco announced some sherman tracks. Maybe you can check it out. I supposed that if is enough for a sherman, it will be enough for an M4 HST
