1/35 Soviet T55/Chinese Type 59/96/IDF Achzarit Metal Tracks w/Pins
Discontinued
Our R Model's track sets are distinct for exclusively using brass pins, setting them apart from the more commonly supplied stainless steel pin versions by other retailers. This choice enhances both the appearance and functionality in several key ways:
- Precision and Detail: Brass pins come with more details due to its malleability compared to stainless steel. This means that these track links feature more intricate designs, contributing to the overall realism of your models.
- Natural Weathering: Brass pins are predisposed to oxidise over time, a property that stainless steel pins lack. This oxidation process enables modellers to achieve a range of weathered looks easily, adding to the authenticity of the model's appearance without requiring additional treatments.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: The natural aging process of brass lends a realistic, time-worn look to the tracks, enhancing the visual depth and historical accuracy of your models.
- Durability with Authenticity: While both materials are durable, brass pins offer a unique combination of structural integrity and the ability to age naturally, balancing longevity with aesthetic appeal.

*Note; I purchased these thru Ebay before I knew BNA had them.
For those wanting to replace the belt style tracks on the Tamiya T-55, look no further. While the Tamiya tracks are nice and easy to affix, they lack the proper sag. These tracks from R-Model are near perfect.
They are nicely detailed, fit together beautifully, and are pinned using PINS!, not cut wire. When you have a run of 90 odd links put together, they fit the Tamiya kit quite nicely.
Note, when affixing the tracks, first remove the drive sprocket from the vehicle. Wrap the tracks around the sprocket first. It is a very snug fit. You'll have to press firmly to secure the track. There is no play whatsoever. But when secured, fit the drive sprocket back onto the vehicle and wrap the remaining track around the wheels. On the last links, I suggest using cut wire to confirm how much sag you want before commiting to pins.
Enjoy!
