Thanks Paul. The track comes in segments, similar to the real deal, but should be able to be split into sufficient individual parts to allow for the sprocket/idler curves. I'll try later!

There was. Only two of them made. One is in front of the Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. The Soviets introduced the amphibious PT-76 light tank so the US Army went back to the drawing board and came up with the M551 Sheridan. The Sheridan was amphibious as well as airdroppable, but was normally LASPEd. This is basically flying over a drop zone at low altitude and letting a parachute yank the tank out.

T-92 was a tank that just never made it into production. Tamiya/Hawk made a 1/48 scale kit and ITC made one in 1/24. I've got the ITC one and it is rather nice for a 1960s kit.
