Well, firstly sorry my english (I will do the best) , I´m doing a
Hasegawa M-24 chaffee in 1/72 but I´m in trouble with the tracks and
the sprockets, The firsts chaffee´s in Europe and Korea used the T72
Tracks? the T85 tracks are used after the korea war? also there is a
different sprocket for each track set? and, there is a tracks set in
this scale to remplace these horrendous hasegawa vinyl tracks? I can
use a set from another model to do this? what is the best solution ?
THANKS !!!!!

World War Two Chaffees used the steel single-pin track, and most also
used it in Korea. The rubber block double-pin track was available
during the Korean War, but I have only seen it on M19 antiaircraft
tanks. French Chaffees in Indochina did use the rubber block track,
though. And yes, the drive sprockets were different depending on the
type of track fitted. Don't know about any replacements in 1/72nd, as I
generally build in 1/35th.
