1:35 KV-1 / KV-2 / SU-152 light type tracks

Movable metal tracks for the KV-1, KV-2 and SU-152, light type 1:35 (Friulmodel)

A set of cast white metal links as a replacement for the plastic tracks of an ordinary kit. It is not a vehicle model but a detail accessory for the Soviet heavy tanks KV-1 and KV-2 and the self-propelled gun SU-152 in the form with the light track type. The individual links are joined with wire pins, so the finished track is fully movable, sags faithfully and gives the model a realistic weight as well as look. The set contains links with and without a guide horn and wire for the pins.

The real subject

The KV heavy tanks and the SU-152 gun built on their chassis appeared during the war with several types of track. The lighter track type reproduced by this set suits above all the early form of these machines. Faithful tracks complete the impression of the weight of the chassis.

Assembly and use

• Links with and without a guide horn are joined with the supplied wire into a movable track.
• The metal track can be bent to create a realistic sag.
• Before painting, degrease the parts and coat them over a suitable primer.
• An excellent base for washes, dust and mud effects on the running gear.

Who it is for

• For modelers building an early KV-1, KV-2 or SU-152 in 1:35.
• For those who want the realistic weight and sag of metal tracks.
• For more advanced builders assembling a track from individual links.

It is a detail accessory, not a complete model. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.
