Hi,

Just wondering if anyone had found an alternative to the one piece Diehl tracks in the Shanghai Dragon / Revell kits, I know some MARS used "regular" MLRS track but I'm specifically looking for the Diehl track.

As far as I know there is no aftermarket for this at the moment, although Friulmodel may release a set at some point (saw Friul's owner measuring and photographying those tracks at Munster ).

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

Christophe

Soince the wheels and sprocket are the same as on the Bradley and Paladin PIM, I'd go with Academy K9 track. It's absolutely the best match I've found so far.

Thanks.

I have a K9 in my stash, I'll check.

Unfortunately I don't think aftermarket tracks are available for the K9 either, might just wait for Friul.

Cheers,

Here's a close-up of the MARS tracks :

But you'll probably know this already
