Hi,
Would anyone know if the ZTZ-99A tracks are used on ZTZ-96Bs? I know information out there is scarce, based on the photos I find, the tracks are similar but not exactly the same.
I am looking for a replacement for the rubber tracks in Meng’s ZTZ-96B set and the only viable option seems to be the Bronco set.
Thanks,
Adam
I was curious about the type 96 so i went to wikipedia there are pics of the ZTZ-96 with type 59 type tracks and drive sproket hope the pic helps maybe there is so aftermarket tracks available
The kits of ZTZ-96 of Hobby boss have the same tracks of T-54,and this is what appears on a wide number of photos including the one shown above.
I think that Meng has reproduced a more recent version with different wheels, engine and tracks, but I don’t know well it and I don’t know if the old style tracks are compatible.
Trumpeter has its own line of indy (workable?) tracks for Type 99, both with metallic and with rubber links. I don’t know if they are better or worse than those of Bronco.
I think that the same tracks are used for Type 96, 99 and sometimes with older types as type 88. The prototype of type 99, often known as type 98, had T-54 style tracks that were replaced on production tanks. So, I think that the tracks and probably the sprockets are interchangeable.
Hi Nick, thanks for taking the time, your picture has Russian OmsH tracks (or similar), I am looking at more recent versions here.
Thanks Massimo, at this point I can only hope those are interchangeable. There are very few photos out there…
The Bronco one is indeed much nicer than Trumpeter, I see also a metal version on Aliexpress but that’s not truly movable and looks bad around the sprocket and the idler.
So you have already examined the Trumpeter set? Have you bought it?
I would like to know if the Type 99 tracks (Bronco or Trumpeter) fit on the sprockets of T-54 style tracks or it is necessary to change the sprockets aside the tracks.
I have built the Type 99 of HB, and I am not fully satisfied of their link tracks included in the kit, that are poorly detailed; worst, I didn’t manage to bend the link connectors as I usually do in proximity of the sprockets and idlers, the plastic was too rigid.
I don’t know if the tracks of HB Type 99 are the same sold by Trumpeter in their track link set, I suppose no but I would be sure.
In this regard, I think that the tracks included into the kits of Bronco could be much better.
Hello,
I’m just judging by these photos: construction is odd and there are ugly sink marks. The Bronco one seems much better.

Cheers,
你可以试试99a的打印履带（hb的99a有错误不能用，适配其他品牌的可以），96b与96a的履带不同。这是中国的模型制作者们的经验。
96a：Single pin track；96b=99a:double pin track；Hobby Boss’s 99a is much bigger than life.
谢谢！你知道ZTZ-99A的履带是否用于ZTZ-96B吗？
你可以用99a的履带
最后一张是99a的照片 其他的是96b
The whole tank is too big , or the tracks only?
是的 hb的99a尺寸不对。
99≠99a，履带的话可以用的，没多少差别。
