Hi!
They haven't it listed on their webpage. It's better to contact them on the Facebook.
But the price for this turret is very high...

It looks like alot of work to get it accurate. Just wondering why the Pershing tracks? Fury had Sherman tracks (note the cube type guide horns on the tracks).

Looking good there Eddy!

He knows about the guide horns Jeff but I'm surprised you didn't catch the sprockets too.

Probably a waste of time to speculate about what I did or didn't notice.

I just wanted to know about the tracks, nothing more.

Looks great. I cannot do better even with my skills.
but do you know you have the wrong tracks mounted as spares on the glacis? Those are VVSS tracks and wont fit Fury. Were you short the right kind to use for spares?

Wow frank, I did not catch that detail. Good call.
Stupid movie people making mistakes like that. I would have slapped a section of hvss track there and not even noticed Fury had vvss laying on it in the movie.

Holywood prop designers do what looks good, not what is correct. I have friends that rent to studios, and specifically the last Indiana Jones moive he had all the vehicles painted up correctly for the set designers and they looked at them and said, but we want them to look like this. They showed him a picture of IDF jeeps. He told them the HUGE difference but they instead repaited his vehciles for him.

Nothing wrong with Fury having VVSS tracks on the glacis... wartime photos show shermans having all kinds of tracks on them.. some even have panther tracks draped all over... these act as standoffs for hollowcharge like panzerfaust which were getting more prolific late war or simply as additional amour over the inadequate original amour plate...

Hi!
These tracks were the most close to the tracks from the movie. I know about the guide horns, but the Impact has only these.

Impact appears to sell sets for Pershings and Shermans...that's why I asked. Regardless, you have a set of Pershings. For added realism, you might consider taking your old pair of Sherman tracks, and swapping the guide horns out with the Pershing tracks. It likely would work, but would be tedious.

It was enjoyable to view your work. Thanks for posting.

If one digs deeper you will see they are selling the SAME TRACK SET for BOTH tanks... same #number so there is no separate part to get they, are both the same guide teeth.

Been there saw that.


Besides... pulling 4 tracks apart to change out the guide horn would be pretty tedious at best.
