Hi all,
I recently bought this set of replacment tracks for my Italeri M109A6.
I posted a full review on my site.
To put it simple, the set is correct but not the best in town as the fit of the connectors to the links is very loose. So some extra work will be required to get a pair of nice tracks.



The same company also has a set of the previous M109 tracks type.

Sky Bow made a set back in 2001 2002 maybe earlier.

Also AFV Club I think.

AFV Club set IS the Skybow one. Just a rebox.

And Skybow/AFV Club tracks are for M108/M109A0-A5, not good for M109A6.

The best styrene tracks for M109A6 Paladin are the Riich ones.



I planned to use the Skunkmodel ones on my Paladin, but gave up on them after just a few links and used the Riich ones instead:

Very nice build Pawel. I'll use my set because I don't like the way Riich Models set is designed (I mean ala Bronco) and I don't want to throw too much in AM stuff for my Italeri kit.

I guess that I'll have to glue the links in the end.
