This is a great build and nice execution. I myself always afraid to make Sherman tanks because of the suspension and wheel parts. So my hatt are off to you sir.

Because original tracks didnīt fit into sprocket wheel a had to try my own ones. According to very detailed blueprint (first picture) i managed to adjust original tracks and cut one piece to individual parts. First ones could be better, but quality should incresase with every another single piece.

Johnny7 if you look at sherman tracks the bit that stiks up from the conector links needs to be moor pointed so thay fit round the sproket better. other wise thay look fine.

I donīt know what exactly do you mean. Bits from conectors had only to be shortened, because on the sprocket wheel there is an inner round coliding with bits. Rest of tracks will have non adjusted bits.

Track didnīt fint into sprocket because of measurements, bits were ok, just too long.

Hmmm. interesting...Like i said, there will be no effect, because there is height of pins only affecting fitting to sprocket wheel. i am watching your Sherman/Halinksi - tracks 24/7 as well

Regarding to pins - why is on that picture just pin one more pointed than the other ones?
