I picked up one of those nice Maquette 1/35 scale Archers.
Comes with a ton of resin parts and a turned Barrel.
I would like to do it up with some of those Fruilmodelisimo (forgive me if I spelled it wrong) tracks.
I cannot find them on the web.
Thanks for any leads.
You got a telegram from headquarters today. Headquarters--what is it? Well, it's a big building where generals meet, but that's not important right now. [ img] f_armorsecretm_ac7eb73[/ img]

Russianfist,I have just done a Bishop Sp and could not find metal tracks for it nor the Centurion the I am currently working on.They make them in plasitic but not metal and
I have looked on each site I can think off.The plasitic tracks on the Bishop were of good
quaity and I uesd them.They are the same type that was used on the Valentine.The sites I have sreached were squadron,the barrel store,your hobby store .These are just to name a few that I have checked.Digger

russianfist & diggeraone,
I was looking for some Friulmodel tracks for one of my kits and ran
across these on greatmodels.com. Perhaps they could be the ones y'all are
looking for. fuzzy

I'm building one of the Maquette Valentine XI tanks right now. Let me give you a quick heads up. THe suspension system is a bit dicy. Start by building the suspensiona nd arms, make sure you install them so you CAN move them. After they are set, install the larger roadwheels first, these are the end units. Now install the two road wheels on their carrier to teh suspension set on a flat base. You may have to sand it down a bit to get all the wheels to line up. Aside form that so far it is a nice build. A bit heavy on detail but heck, i like the challenge of building this tank. I will post some pictures later tongiht about what i am talking about. Bill
