I got them for their M108 and M109A2.  I wasn't sure how you would glue them and paint but I think I see the picture.  I really didn't plan on them being functional.

They are pretty easy to assemble.  They are length-and-link tracks, meaning there are long lengths for the top, bottom, and angled side runs; and individual links for the parts that curve around the drive sprocket and idler wheel.  All you have to do is assemble the indi-link workable tracks carefully if you still want them to work (not needed in my opinion), then attach them to the longer lengths to complete the track.  I build them in two sections, upper and lower and then attach the two sections to the completed model (after painting both model and tracks) using the indi-links as the connection point.

What kit do you plan on using them on? If it is the M109A6 Paladin, they are the incorrect tracks (even though Italeri has them in the new boxing of it). Paladins use the slightly different T154 tracks. The differences are in the placement of the center guide (further back on the T154s) and the wear bar around the track pad (only on the two front corners on the T154, as opposed to completely surrounding the pad on the T136s).

Riich Model makes the correct T-154 tracks for the Paladin.

You have to tell us who the manufacturer is.

Italeri Track Advice
Posted by 68GT on Sunday, May 10, 2015 7:05 PM

I just picked up T-136 tracks for a M108 or M109 by Italeri and was looking for some advice.  I have never worked with any aftermarket type of track before so any help will be useful.
