They are OK for shermans but anything with a sag needs something else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I bought my first set of Masterclub tracks for a near-future t-34 build recently. about half the cost of Friuls they have resin track pins and aren;t made of lead like friuls, so shipping weight is less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 I used the Masterclub tracks as replacements for my Takom Male IV. The tracks supplied we quite honestly unbuild able. Being resin and having a snap fit, you still had to be careful........they do look great though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Back to tracks again, this time Marder IIIH, M4A3E8 + Pz III G and M4 DV ready for booth 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Nice looking assembly line. I haven't tried the Masterclub tracks yet as I haven't found them for a reasonable price. AFV Club do some nice tracks in plastic as does Bronco. They might need a bit more work in assembly but aren't as insane as Modelkasten ones.

Bomber_County Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Thanks Carl, having a real drive on finishing some kits, the bench can only take so many 95% complete builds.........with the Masterclub you have to be really careful not to snap the locating lugs as the resin is quite fragile, they were on the Male IV ............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Here is the complete list to finish before starting anything new .....but seriously no room on the bench. Going to make this my New Year resolution.......The Marder must have been stalled now for maybe seven years.......
