I am looking for Sherman tracks with duckbills , workable non rubber type. Like Magic tracks .
Looking for this type in the picture below.

I know Cyber Hobby Orange Box series #9110 Sherman Firefly has a great set of tracks with duckbills. They are like magic tracks..

Can someone please list some manufacturers where I can buy some?
Thx
David

Hi David,

I like the Panda Platic tracks, they have just about every type of sherman track availble, I find them easier to use than the Bronco, or Modelkasten offerings.

Have had great service any time I have ordered. http://www.shermantracks.com/

Rod

If the new ASUKA/Tasca Online shop opens, they offer the gluable single length tracks (which I prefer over indy link ones) of T48s with duckbills. These were part of the Tasca M4A3E2 Jumbo kit.

I prefer them b/c of their ease and the fact that w/Shermans, I do not want ANY sagging. For example, the tracks on photo of the DML 1/6 M4A3(105) are extremely inaccurate and too loose. They would have tightened them immediately. The hazard from loose tracks was extreme and they aways need to be taut.

For a 2nd best choice, Rod's rec for Panda tracks is great, too. I have many.
