Is it just me or do the track guards from the accessories sprues not fit properly?

Can anyone suggest an alternative supplier that would fit a Leman Russ?

I haven't glued them on yet, but I can make a size comparison photo this evening

Edit: but the normal track guards from GWs sprue did fit on my Leman Russ. I'll take some pics later

What do.you mean by not fit properly? Too long, short, wide?

The track guard kit has a number of different section length because it was designed for use with both the Russ and Chimera and you use different bits on the different track angles.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

The only part I find problematic is the medium size section which only goes on the rear of the LRBT track, on certain pattern you have to shave away the inner facing track guard that stick out flat to fit.

And Models and Minis track guards for size comparison. As you see they are the same size:
