The Bronco Models 1/35 Duckbills for U.S. M4 Sherman T62 Tracks Part 2 (AB3550) is a precision‑molded upgrade set designed for modelers who want to add maximum realism to their Sherman builds. These extended end connectors, commonly known as duckbills, were essential for improving the mobility of M4 tanks operating in soft or unstable terrain.
Historical Background
The U.S. M4 Sherman served in nearly every theater of WWII, but its relatively narrow tracks often struggled in mud, snow, volcanic ash, and loose sand. To solve this, engineers developed duckbill track extenders, which widened the track footprint and reduced ground pressure.
The T62 steel track was one of several heavy‑duty track types used on late‑war Shermans, particularly:
In Northwest Europe, where mud and winter conditions caused severe bogging
During the Battle of the Bulge, where duckbills were urgently fitted in the field
In the Pacific, where volcanic ash and jungle mud made mobility difficult
On M4A3, M4A2, and M4A1 variants equipped with steel chevron tracks
Duckbills were often installed unevenly or lost during combat, giving modelers the opportunity to create highly realistic, battle‑worn track runs.
