Tracks for Soviet 203mm B-4 Howitzer, 1/35 - Friulmodel ATL-109

The set Friulmodel ATL-109, referenced 2580109, offers metal tracks intended to reproduce the Soviet 203 mm B-4 gun-howitzer in 1/35 scale. This is a detailing accessory for a static military model.

The B-4 is a Soviet heavy artillery piece mounted on a tracked carriage. Replacing the main kit tracks with metal components lets you reproduce the running gear’s mechanical look with greater finesse and adds realistic weight to the finished model.

The ATL-109 set includes 80 metal links, two drive sprockets, and the wire used to assemble the link joints. The links must be assembled individually to form the two track runs.

Assembly and finishing

Preparing the links requires careful deburring and alignment before assembly. Precision tools, a suitable cutting pliers, a fine file or abrasive paper, and a small-diameter drill bit may be helpful to achieve a smooth, consistent build.

After assembly, the metal tracks can be primed, then painted and weathered according to the desired finish. Wear, dust, earth, and oxidation effects help the running gear blend naturally into a 1/35 Soviet artillery scene.
