I saw the Airwaves 7TP PE set on www.greatmodels.com as in stock. I recommend grabbing it.

Coincidentally, I ran across those 7TP RPM indy links at the local shop today! A little more expensive here in Japan, though (about $10 USD).

Good luck with your build, ET!

Thanks guys.Now that I've conquered my fear of indy links,I gotta have 'em.Not on all projects,just the ones that require the tracks to sag.Vinyl tracks,although convenient,drove me nuts as a kid on Tigers,Panthers,etc....After slugging it out with my DML M-46,I find I actually enjoy them.As long as they fit together that is.

Thanks Again

Did a quick search to answer my own question:
The 7TP is a Polish light tank based on a Vickers vehicle.
Here's a pic:


And now I know!
So please ignore my previous post about BT-7s.

Looks like Major Rob has you all hooked up!Big Smile [:D]

RPM does a nice little set for very little money:
http://www.squadron.com/ItemDetails.asp?item=MKR35901

There are several photo etched sets that add immensely to the 7TP kits. The two basic kits are the Mirage kit and the Spojnia 7TP. The Spojnia kit is older and the Mirage kit is better. Most of the detail sets are geared towards the Mirage kit. They also expanded the line and put out Soviet variations of the 7TP like the T-26. Also search for items geared towards the Vickers 6 ton tank F and E as the T-26 and 7TP were both based off of this British design.

Airwaves did a PE set for the Spojnia kit. It was 35021 and if you ran across one, it would be luck. Yeah, I have one, but I'm lucky. Again, try searching for T-26 detail sets and you will be all right.

Hmmm....forgive my ignorance, but what's a "7TP?" Dunce [D)]
Some sources of indy links would be ModelKasten and Friulmodel, but I've not seen a listing for a set of links for a "7TP" from either of those manufacturers.

Are you talking about a BT-7 (just a wild guess!Big Smile [:D])? If so, ModelKasten's SK-62 set is for the BT series of vehicles.

Where can I get indy links for a 1/35 7TP?

Thanks
