I have the Italeri/Zveda SU-100 kit.
The vinyl tracks seem kinda boring and if I can’t get aftermarket tracks then I’m burying this baby in deep deep ugly mud to hide it 
Please give me some suggestions for upgrading the tracks on this kit. (Did the SU-100 use the same tracks as the t-34?)
Thanks,
muzzleflash88 hi[:)]
firstly yes i think that you can use t-34 tracks for your su-100.
i did a search on hannants and came up with a whole bunch of stuff[:)]; now i know you’re stateside right? but this should still give you an idea what’s out there, so all you have to do is get the stuff from your LHS or, dare i say it, evil[}:)]bay!![:p]
hope this helps.
regards,

Both Fruilmodelissmo and Model Kasten list tracks for the T-34 variants.
M.K. has 3 different sets … the models 1940, 1941, & 1942.
I found them at a Canadian suppler but you should be able to find a supplier closer to you.
oops…forgot to post the link!!! anyway…
sorry about that!

Should work, they were basically the same hull with modifications to the upper hull, much like say a Jagdpanther.
Thanks for the information. From what I read, the SU-100 was the improved SU-85 and that was the same hull as the T-34. Many reports on the SU-100 claim the front wheel was overloaded, springs were changed to fix this. I was not sure if the tracks were the same as the T-34 as the hull, or if it used the KV style tracks with a little more umph and cleats… the t-34 tracks seem so ineffecient.
THANKS FOR THE HELP!!! I’m going to search it out now
What you need is the T34 tracks but late model, as in T34-85. A place called http://www.discountmodels.com sells those. Give that guy a call, he’s very helpful. I have implemented Friul tracks in my JS-3M and they worked as advertised.
ok, i may have to give a fruil a try. [X-)]
update… I acquired a model point barrel for this kit, its rifled, gorgeous!
