M4 info please/ need indy-link tracks...

[SMJmodeler]

Guys,

I'm looking for indies to replace the rubber band tracks supplied in my HobbyBoss M4 High Speed Tractor 3"/90mm kit.  My research says that the M4 is built on the M2 Light Tank chassis.  There are two M4's and I want to be sure to get the correct # of links.

Question #1: Are there indies available that aren't Friuls (metal)?  If so which mfr? Will an M2 search engine get me what I need?

Question #2: Anybody have any they'd be willing to barter/ sell (if that's not against forum rules)?  

Thanks for the help.

I believe you're looking for T48 tracks...which are for the Sherman. Both AFV Club and Bronco make some plastic ones, like this:

Compare to what the kit tracks look like, but I think those are the ones.

dupes: Thanks man!, I just went on the web for images to make a quick comparison...that's looks right from what I recall!  I'll have to print a picture and compare them to the kit tonight.  As usual I'm glad I asked, I would've gone down the M2 route and got ticked!!!

No problemo! Anything I can do to help. Just a few google searches and one poke into my kit box.

Oh, and as far as the barter/sell thing, it's perfectly legal here - just throw down a request in the proper section of the forum.

dupes: A little comparing of the kits tracks to the T48's...conclusion: Not the right ones.   BUT, a little more research (I didn't have the book at the time) shows that I need the T49 tracks, which ARE available as indies!!!  Now, over to ebay!  Oh yeah, and a wanted thread here on MSC!  Thanks again for the help.

I was close, anyway! Glad you found what you needed.
