hello all,
i have 3 Tamiya Tanks and i would like to buy some tracks.i have found what i need,but i have nevered used A/M Tracks.
they are from Friulmodel's with 210 links with wire.what problems will be facing using them?do i need any special tools for them?
if they are like Dragons"Magic Tracks"i know i will not use them.
any help is welcome.
cheers,
Bruce

What tanks are you building?

John

hello John,
they are:Pz 3N,Cruiser Mk1/2 and Late Version JagdPanther all in 1/48 scale.i do not like the way the tracks are that came with the kits.long sections along with single and a few small sections.all plastic.they do not look very good when i am replacing the guns and adding PE items.
as i have never used any A/M Tracks i am looking for some info on them.
cheers,
Bruce

Hi, glad to see you trying out 1/48. I have not tried the Friul tracks. You may also want to consider clickable WWII Production Tracks following this link as they are less expensive too. The winterketten pzIII/Iv tracks or others can be found following this thread. HTH

I"ve never done 1/48th, only 1/35th, but in my experience in 1/35th there is a little flash clean up, a few holes need to be drilled out ( a few links in the set) and I replaced the wire in the set with brass rod. I don"t know if this advice transfers over to 1/48th though. In 1/35th they are probably, IMO, the best tracks out there for most kits.

hello all,
thanks for the info and link.i think i will go with the friulmaodels tracks.i received very good responses from an online store track48.Meeta has been very patience with my large amount of questions.
i will let all of you know how the sale and the tracks go,as i have not bought anything from them yet.
cheers,
Bruce

They have some great figures for sale on that site too you might want to add to the order. Check for "Dartmoor Figures." They are white metal but the detail is hard to beat so far in 48th - that is until Fox Miniatures releases their US and German figure sets. Have fun with the new kits! Greg
