Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 3, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 3, 2021 It feels like forever since i’ve built a full armour model! Starting with the tracks. I’ve assembled many friul tracks back in the day, but this chinese brand is something else!! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Tracks look good, but are they difficult to deal with or are they good? I think they look great, but how much work were they? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 oh ok, that's kind of what I thought, that's great news, did I read that Friul is not making tracks any longer? or am I incorrect on that, ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I know is that they wont be supplying resellers anymore and instead will only sell directly to end users. Like Wnw did. Master Club tracks are a great alternative and this weird brand. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Where did you access the 'weird' brand? just curious, as they do look good.... but I am far from an expert 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Jeroen, are the pins brass? And where did you get them from? If you asked me 30 years ago, I could've told you what the box said but now all I can remember is 3 something. The lighthouse says China on it.

Bomber_County Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Be good to know, All the other AM track people are getting to expensive for me......I looked at Tiger tracks they were more than the kit cost....... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look to be better finished than the Friuls in the pictures but that may be a false impression. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s tougher and feel like normal metal. Friul sometimes needs the holes openend and you have to cut your own pins, but these are all a perfect fit. Amazing stuff. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thanks for the details Jeroen. Given the price seems similar to Friuls they do seem a better bet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I wonder if they're zinc. I have a couple sets of Tiger tracks made by Karaya and they're zinc. The odd bit of flash but very clean otherwise. I don't think they make them anymore. Carl 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
