Need some help with Academy's M-10

John, the casting numbers are to be shaved off the sprue and glued to the kit. If you want info on the foundry numbering system see:

19 are spare rubber track pads. 27 are the track pad brackets to fit to the tank. Look on the back of 27 and you will see 6 holes. These are for the track pad pins 2 each side.

Here is a pic of a set on an M36:

thanx petbat. My tank doesnt have the rubber tracks, so do I still put them on?

roy I'll send you an email.

John, I guess you have the same tracks as in the Achilles Kit, the steel chevron type favoured by the Canadians and some Brit units. I'd leave the racks off as they do look odd without track pads.

They are great to replace the shoddy ones Tamiya provides in some of their M4 kits though.

thanks, I'll add them to my spares box and save em for when I build a Tamiya Sherman. Someday.... I have to build something german soon or I think aI will go crazy!
