The Extended End Connectors tracks, also known as “duck-bill”, were widely used on American Sherman tanks during World War II. Their distinctive extended ends were designed to improve ground pressure and the tank’s mobility on muddy terrain in Western Europe, especially during operations such as the Normandy landings and the Battle of the Bulge (1944-1945). These tracks are a key detail for accurately representing late-war tanks.

The Heavy Hobby PT35055 set includes highly detailed resin parts, allowing you to replace the simplified versions found in standard plastic kits. Assembly is done by carefully gluing the parts, ensuring accurate scale reproduction and high durability. The level of detail provided by these tracks allows for precise depiction of wear and tear—subtleties like cracks, scuffing, or weathering become even more realistic.

Product recommendation: We highly recommend this product for intermediate and advanced modelers seeking authentic upgrades for their Shermans. This set is also aimed at those entering modeling competitions, where every historical detail and level of realism matters.

Assembly difficulty: 3/5. Experience working with resin and basic precise assembly skills are recommended.
