Hope this is the right forum! Can any one tell me if the 'S' tank used some of the Centurion running gear ( wheels and tracks ) as I want to build the trumpeter kit nand have been told that the running gear is one of the worst pats of the kit.

No problem asking here, we don't have special forums for such questions!

The wheels look very similar to Centurion wheels, but the track pattern is quite different. I'm not really a tread head, maybe somebody versed in the way of these things can provide a more informative answer?

Strv-103C used basically Diehl 570 track , as on the Leopard 2 (well, when I say the same, there were minor differences, but nothing that would worry all but the most picky in 1/35th scale, and they were manufactured by Diehl), the Strv-103B used an all metal track without pads, I think single pin "dead" rather than the "live" twin pin style of the Diehl.

ISTR the -103's roadwheels are identical to the Chieftain's rather than the Centurion, but that's dredged from the depths of my memory so don't take it as gospel!
