Thanks for the links guys. Jeff, that's the one, thanks Smile [:)]
As for the indy links, I don't know if I can splurge on AM tracks, but I know that the MT-LB and the ZSU share some common things, amongst which are the tracks, and I have a spare set of DML tracks, so I think I'll end up using those.
ONce again, thanks for the links!

I built the Skif 2s1which is on the same hull as the MT-LB. The hull is in separate pieces and you will probably need clamps to hold the parts in place while the glue dries. Be prepared to work on the hull to get all of the parts lined up. An eduard p/e set is also recommended as some of the detail is missing and some of it is wrong. I also recommend Friul tracks (I've used 120 per side). I don't have any experience with the
D-30, but I have read OK comments about it. I also have an SA-13 and the MT-LB to build. Here are a couple of sites that should have pictures:

The separation angle of the two movable trails with regard to the immobile one can be 120' in the firing position. The movable trails are fastened to the immovable one for transportation. It is flied connected to the barrel at its muzzle part with a special frame.
