FM25-098 Sherman VVSS Tracks WE210 Type [Lazy Tracks]
The Sherman VVSS WE210 LAZY TRACKS recreate one of the most distinctive late-war rubber-based designs used on
the Sherman.
The WE210 pattern, introduced in 1944, features wide rubber chevron pads optimized for improved grip on wet roads,
mud, and mixed terrain. The broad chevron shape offered better forward traction and reduced vibration compared to
earlier pad types. WE210 tracks were used from late 1944 through 1945, primarily as factory or depot refits.
Operationally, WE210 tracks appeared mainly in the European Theater of Operations, especially during the Ardennes
winter, the Rhineland, and the final push into Central and Southern Germany—where road marches, snow, and
churned-up ground demanded improved rubber traction. Limited use is also documented in the Mediterranean, while s
ightings in the Pacific were uncommon but not impossible due to logistical mixing.
These pre-assembled LAZY TRACKS combine all the strengths builders care about:
the effortless installation of vinyl tracks, the crisp and deep detailing of high-end 3D prints, and the natural,
metal-like sag that gives your Sherman a convincing frontline presence. The light flexibility ensures they settle
realistically over uneven terrain and diorama contours.
For best results, gently warm the tracks in hot water or with a hairdryer before fitting them on rugged ground
contours.
Keep drive sprocket and idler wheel unglued during the initial setup—secure them permanently only once the final
alignment is perfect.
Fits all common 1/35 Sherman VVSS plastic kits using WE210-type tracks.
