I am looking for the Swedish 103 indy link track and wanted to know if someone had some in their stash they could part with in 1/35?

Thanks for checking.

Trumpeter makes a set in plastic for the 103B and 103C that do not look too bad (to my eye). They can be found on sale occasionally. I am working on some for a 103B right now. If you want them to be workable, I would suggest ditching the supplied pins, drilling the links out a little and using plastic rod. Time consuming, but much stronger They may work ok as supplied if you glue them.

Where did you find yours? My supplier hasn't gotten any in the last 3 years.

I was looking for 2056 late track but most of the vendors I have checked are out.

MBK have, for some totally inexplicable reason, sorted these tracks under AFV-Club instead of Trumpeter ....

Greg,
If you are building a STRV 103C, save yourself the headache and get AFV Club's Leopard II track. Both vehicles used similar Diehl produced track and the AFV Club track works on with the Trumpeter sprocket.

The AFV Club Leo 2 track is also an alusive item.
I have found an RB barrel and one piece of Eduard p.e. (35538) for the 103c.There use to be quite a few accessories for the 103 but many have been discontinued or out of stock.

Greg,
Let me check the stash, as I might have an extra set.
