Takom has revolutionized armor modeling with their exceptional workable track sets that provide unprecedented realism through individual link-and-length construction. This 1/35 scale aftermarket parts collection focuses on precision-engineered track sets for various tank types, offering modelers the opportunity to replace simplified plastic band tracks with authentic individual link tracks that create realistic sag, proper track tension, and convincing operational appearance. Each track set demonstrates Takom's commitment to accuracy, quality molding, and thoughtful engineering that makes workable tracks accessible to modelers of all skill levels while delivering professional display-quality results.
The Chieftain Tracks provide authentic replacement tracks for British Chieftain main battle tank models, featuring the distinctive track pattern used on this Cold War era tank. These workable tracks capture the Chieftain's characteristic track design with accurate link shapes and pad patterns, proper track width and pitch dimensions, realistic detail including guide horns and connector pins, and flexible assembly allowing natural track sag. The individual link construction enables modelers to create convincing track runs that drape naturally over road wheels and return rollers, eliminating the stiff, unrealistic appearance of vinyl band tracks.
The French Light Tank AMX-13 Tracks replicate the unique track system used on this innovative French light tank design. The AMX-13's distinctive oscillating turret and compact chassis required specialized running gear, and these tracks capture the authentic track pattern with accurate link configuration for French light tanks, proper scale dimensions and detail, realistic track shoe patterns, and flexible construction enabling natural drape. These tracks enhance AMX-13 models significantly, providing the authentic track appearance essential for this distinctive French design.

These workable track sets feature accurate track patterns for their respective vehicles, precision-molded individual links with fine detail, proper dimensional accuracy, and realistic assembly characteristics. The availability of these specialized track sets enables modelers to enhance specific tank models with authentic running gear that matches prototype configurations.
Individual link workable tracks provide dramatic improvements over simplified plastic band tracks or vinyl tracks. The advantages include realistic track sag showing proper weight distribution, natural drape over road wheels and return rollers, authentic track tension appearance, superior detail with individual link features visible, and convincing operational realism. Workable tracks transform the appearance of armor models, creating the authentic heavy equipment look that characterizes actual tanks. The realistic track sag alone justifies the upgrade, as it demonstrates proper suspension loading and adds visual interest to static displays.
Takom workable tracks are designed for straightforward assembly with link-and-length construction that simplifies installation. Assembly typically involves connecting individual track links using the provided pins or connectors, building track runs to appropriate length for each side, installing tracks over road wheels and sprockets, and adjusting for proper sag and tension. The precision molding ensures links connect smoothly with minimal force, the flexible construction allows tracks to conform to suspension geometry, and the design accommodates various track tension settings. Most modelers can install workable tracks in several hours, creating dramatic improvements in model realism.
Workable tracks accept paint and weathering exceptionally well, allowing realistic finishing that enhances their detail. Finishing techniques include base coating with appropriate track colors, dry brushing to highlight raised details, applying rust and wear effects, adding mud and dirt accumulation, and creating realistic metal wear on contact surfaces. The individual link construction provides numerous surfaces for weathering effects, creating convincing operational appearance. The tracks can be painted before or after installation, with each approach offering specific advantages for different finishing techniques.
These track sets are specifically designed for compatibility with popular armor kits from various manufacturers. The sets typically identify which kit brands and specific models they fit, ensuring proper dimensions and mounting compatibility. The tracks work with Takom's own armor kits as well as models from other manufacturers, providing upgrade options for diverse armor collections. The precision engineering ensures proper fit with minimal modification required, making these tracks accessible upgrades for modelers seeking enhanced realism.
