Global Scale Modeller

Hi folks,

As the title says, I am looking for a set of after market tracks for an Academy 1/35 M3 Grant. All my searches have come up empty. Any help would be appreciated.

WowI would have thunk someone on this vast knowledge base could have pointed me in the right direction

They deliver internationally:

You could use the results as a basis

Look for M4 tracks. They should fit the M3 grant too.

Since the suspension of the M3 was carried forward onto the M4 Sherman, the tracks for the sherman are also applicable to the M3, but not all of the different patterns used on the M4 were often seen on the M3. As far as I am aware, all of the U.S. Army M3s in Tunisia were fitted with the plain rubber block type tracks. These were designated T40, in the case of the earlier type, T51 for the later type. In 1:35 scale there is no real difference.


I would recommend the AFV club injection moulded set as the best option. Friul's Sherman tracks do not have a good reputation, and their weight will tend to make them sag between the return rollers. While this is desirable on most WWII tanks, it was not a feature of U.S. double pin tracks. The Modelkasten tracks are beautifully detailed, but a nightmare to assemble because there are about eight parts per link. The AFV Club tracks have excellent detail, are not too much trouble to build (three parts per link), and are relatively inexpensive.

Hope this helps!

Thanks a bunch guys
