| The Italeri tracks from the M47 are appropriate for an M46, though Italeri depicts the later, revised chevron. The original rubber chevron had a little vertical bend at the end, but this often cracked and broke off in service, so the track block molds were redesigned to thicken the width of the chevron at the ends, The AFV Club individual tracks depict the original shape--check out the boxtop if you're curious. Not sure when the change in the design took place, but Italeri was basing their kit on tanks then in service with the Italian Army (ca. 1977). |
