FM25-090 Sherman VVSS Tracks T48 Type Worn w. Duckbills [Lazy Tracks]

The Sherman VVSS T48 Worn with Duckbills LAZY TRACKS capture the true frontline appearance of Shermans that
pushed through the harshest terrain of late WWII.
Based on the classic T48 rubber-chevron pattern—introduced in 1943—this worn version features rounded, abraded
chevrons combined with the iconic extended end-connectors (“duckbills”) used to improve flotation in mud, snow,
and soft ground.

This configuration became widespread from late 1944 to 1945, especially in the European Theater of Operations.
You would most commonly see worn T48 duckbill tracks on Shermans during the Hürtgen battles, the Ardennes winter,
the Rhineland advance, and the final push into central and southern Germany. Heavy use, long marches, and abrasive
terrain naturally produced the distinctive worn-down look reproduced in this set.

These pre-assembled tracks combine all advantages in one:
the effortless installation of vinyl tracks, the sharp, high-resolution detailing of 3D-printed designs, and the
realistic, metal-like sag that gives your Sherman unmistakable battlefield presence. Their subtle flexibility allows
them to settle perfectly over uneven terrain and diorama bases.

For best results, gently warm the tracks in hot water or with a hairdryer before adapting them to rugged surfaces.
Keep the drive sprocket and idler wheel unglued during initial setup—secure them permanently only after perfect
alignment is achieved.

Fits all common 1/35 Sherman VVSS plastic kits using T48-type worn tracks with duckbills.
