But they are better than the elastic band type Dragon then reverted to..........

would love to add Fruil or Master tracks to all my AFV’s but they are getting a tad expensive now.......I’ve got a couple of Tigers in the stash, may just splash out for them........

They are OK for shermans but anything with a sag needs something else

Nice progress for sure and nothing like keeping the bench full of on going projects - seems we all belong to the same Get 'em going" fraternity 

Thanks Peter, I could get into doing build pics........I would have never shown anything on the other side to many judgement types ...........man I am so glad I’m here............

Totally agree, just wish Fruil were a little cheaper, a set for a Firefly are around £30......I know these guys have to make a profit....

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.

[Bomber_County]

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...

Back to tracks again, this time Marder IIIH, M4A3E8 + Pz III G and M4 DV ready for booth

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.

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 .............

[Bomber_County]

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.......

3. Male IV
4. Fw190 D9 - 48th
5. Marder III H
6. Matilda
7. Tamiya Birdcage - 32nd

9. LRDG Chevy
10. Sherman M4 DV

Phil looking good and I never thought building tracks could be so delicate.

Keep 'em comin

[Bomber_County]

Thanks Peter, fiddly yes especially if you want to have the tracks sagging as the do in real life.......

[Bomber_County]

Trying out a new dual action airbrush on the Sherman’s, base coat down layering up three colours tomorrow.......
