I have been looking for a set of Spade Ace tracks for the Japanese Type 92 tankette and they seem to have disappeared, no one seems to have them. Then I noticed that there are only 6 sets of Spade Ace tracks still on E-bay, you used to be able to find all of their tracks listed there, did I miss something?

Check the HobbyEasy web site. I believe they carry the full line or most of it instock.

Yes David I found this listing through a Google search also, but if you actually click on the track icons, they take you to the actual E-bay listing which shows all of them as "out of stock" The ad you found was the reason I actually posted this, and the Type 92 tracks are not even shown there at all.

As I said in my original post if you search E-bay for Spade Ace Tracks, you only get 6 listings, that's only 6 sets of tracks.

Gary that's always been my go to store for tracks, but they have been out of stock for quite a while now (the Type 92 tracks that is.)

I finally got a reply from HobbyEasy, one of the vendors that I contacted:

Dear customer,

Sorry, we cannot get them in the near future. The owner of Spade Ace is having a long sick leave. We expect he'll come back in about 4-6 months.

Regards
