It should be noted that Zvezda recently tooled link and length tracks for the T-26 but so far it has only been available in the single turret version. At less than half the usual price of the Hobby Boss kits which have their own track issues (fiddly and complicated assembly of tiny links) with new tracks and photo etch the Zvezda T-26 are still worthwhile to many modelers. Especially those of us who can claim to have survived building the Mirage/RPM kits which have considerably worse vinyl track than Zvezda.

Thanks for the review, Gareth.

Those are interesting "little builds" suited for practice. As you said, it must be delicious as a knocked-out thank at the beginning of Barbarossa.

As for the tracks, there is an example of those mentioned by Bravo. They aren't magnificent, but they do the job and you can remove and reinstall them by your heart's desire without any damage.


Cheers!
Gabriel
