Hi Shane,
Yes the SU-100 used T-34 tracks as it was based on the T-34 chassis. I have seen photos with both early and late tracks, but late type being the most used and your best bet. As far as aftermarket, I can tell you about Maquette's offering, I used them on a T-34/85 recently. They are cheap and look good on the model, but sure are a big pain to clean up. Flash on all sides of some links and the usual pin marks on the inside of each link. I spent about 6 hours cleaning them all up. I also noticed a very tight fit, so I lightly filed every other links mating surface. A wealth of info on the SU-100 can be found at http://www.battlefield.ru/su100.html , a russian site thats helped me a few times.
Hope this helps,
Clair |
