A new track set is coming from Italeri, and these should help get your American SPG moving.
Something new from Italeri, a workable track set for the M108/109 series. These look to be individual track parts that can be assembled as a working track, the construction method does not look too bad. These should be a welcome accessory for the Italeri M109 kits.

Very interesting. They look the same as the Riich model T136 tracks. Maybe a rebox?

Nope, they are not the same as the Riich ones. I examined the Italeri set at my LHS yesterday. The Riich tracks have nice slide molded details on end connector faces and are 100% indi links. Italeri tracks have smooth and featureless end connectors and are link and length type! I wonder what was the point of making workable connections for individual links and then provide most of the track as solid "length" pieces?...

Hmm, that is weird. Another set of tracks not to get. I'll stick with either teh Riich Model or AFV Club T136 tracks.

Pawel, sounds like the Kinetic ones. Given Italeri's history of reboxing Kinetic kits I bet that's what they are. The boxtop would then seem misleading... Jim

Could italeri be making a M992 Hopefully someone is coming out with one soon.

I doubt it. I would put my money on Kinetic, if anyone.

Nope. The Kinetic ones have more conventional construction: solid track links with separate individual end connectors. The only common feature with these Italeri tracks are "length" sections, otherwise they are different. So this is completely new, Italeri's own tooling. And now we have T136 tracks available from Riich, AFV Club (ex-Skybow), Kinetic and Italeri... Italeri (image from LINK Kinetic (image from LINK Riich (Armorama's own image):
