Heavy Hobby PT35049 WWII US Army Sherman VVSS Suspension Tracks T-49 1/35

The Heavy Hobby PT35049 resin track set has been created with modelers specializing in armored vehicles of World War II in mind. The product is intended for plastic models of the M4 Sherman tank with standard VVSS suspension, commonly used by the United States Army. This set replicates T-49 type tracks, characterized by a distinctive single guide horn and durable construction—employed on both the European and Pacific fronts from 1942 until the end of the war in 1945.

• Scale: 1/35, allowing for precise fit to most known Sherman models available on the modeling market (e.g., Tamiya, Dragon, Asuka, Italeri).
• Country of use: United States of America (US Army), as well as Allied countries that received Shermans through the Lend-Lease program.
• Historical period: World War II.
• Material: high-quality resin, providing excellent detailing—every track link faithfully reproduces the geometric arrangement and texture of original T-49 tracks.
• The set does not include metal or photo-etched parts; however, Heavy Hobby resin is renowned for its exceptional sharpness and durability, significantly reducing the risk of damage during assembly and painting.
• Category: modeling upgrade set—1/35 scale resin tracks as accessories for plastic tank models.
• Manufacturer: Heavy Hobby—a leader in the production of top-quality details and accessories, valued by modelers for quality and authentic historical detail reproduction.

Recommendation: This set is recommended for experienced modelers who wish to enhance the visual quality of their Shermans for both display and competition purposes. Assembling resin track links requires basic resin working skills, but their precise fit and perfect compatibility with models make achieving a hyper-realistic effect possible even for intermediate users. We rate the assembly difficulty as 3/5: it requires processing parts and appropriate gluing, but delivers a much more impressive result than standard plastic tracks.

If you want to enhance the realism and authenticity of your M4 Sherman model, Heavy Hobby PT35049 is an absolutely essential addition to your modeling workshop.
