Military Miniatures in Review No.03


Modern American armor modelers rejoice! AFV Club has just released an excellent set of link-to-link T-97 tracks. This is the early chevron track utilized on M48's, M60's and M88 recovery vehicles. This beautifully detailed track set replaces the band-type vinyl tracks currently provided by plastic kit manufacturers—i.e. Tamiya's M48A3, M60A1, and M60A2 Patton kits. Tamiya's M60-A3, and Sergeant York kits provide the more modern T-142 track. ESCI provides the T-142 track, but in styrene, and it builds up in sections rather than link-by-link. The release of this kit means that we can do away with the old vinyl track which typically suffers from terrible seams along its edges, at times with flash, which because of the nature of the material, often proves too difficult and time consuming to remove.
