Rye Field Model 5009 M1A1/M1A2 T-158 "Big Foot" Workable Track Link is a high-quality set of fully workable plastic track links designed to replicate modern American M1A1 Abrams and M1A2 Abrams tanks in 1/35 scale. The set is dedicated to plastic model kits and allows for a highly realistic representation of one of the most important sections of an armored vehicle — the running gear.

• Scale: 1/35
• Country of use: United States and Abrams-adopting allies
• Period of use: Modern times (from the late 1980s to present)
• Material: high-quality plastic (polystyrene), ensuring durability and ease of processing
• Category: plastic accessory set for model kits

The historical T-158 "Big Foot" track links were introduced as part of the Abrams upgrades to provide better traction, durability, and the ability to operate in the toughest terrain conditions of modern conflicts, such as the Iraqi Operation Desert Storm in 1991 or operations in Afghanistan and Iraq after 2000. They are characterized by wide, flexible rubber pads and a special shape that allows easy field repair and replacement.

The Rye Field Model 5009 kit allows you to build a realistic and robust track system, consisting of movable links, faithfully reproduced down to the finest details. Each link is assembled individually, accurately reflecting the original segment division and allowing natural track sag — even with dynamic poses of your model. Such accessories enable a level of detail unattainable with standard band or rubber tracks.

Assembly is rated at 4/5 difficulty, meaning the kit is suitable for intermediate and advanced modelers. Due to the precision required in construction and the number of parts, we especially recommend this product to hobbyists seeking the highest levels of detail, military diorama enthusiasts, and modern armored vehicle builders.
