Tamiya M41 aftermarket

[kwaterous]

I would like to build the Tamiya M41 in 1:35, but from what I reckon, it's in need of some improvement, my question is, what aftermarket would you fellows recommend? I know there are 2 AFV club track sets, a fruil track set, PE sets from AFV club and Eduard, and probably more, so what's my best bet?

Im building one myself and i'm using after market fruil tracks, replacement fuel cans from tamiya accessories pack and PE fuel can holders i got from Accurate Armour. I decided against buying a replacement gun barrel as it doesnt come with the "T" section, you have to salvage that from the kit.

i will probably replace the .50 cal machine gun as well...possibly using something from the spares box or a verlinden accessories item

you havent said particular era you plan to do yours from but mine will be a south vietnamese tank.

Thanks PhantomMajor.

Good to know about the barrel, I had thought it was a complete replacement... Darn

To be honest, I haven't gotten as far as planning the maklings yet, are there significant differences between users?

not that i'm aware of but i'm focusing on the south vietnamese tank and from what i can see they had both types in use...curved mud guards and square ones which come on the tamiya tank
