TIA

Tony has the better link, earlier in the year Pacific coast models took over Fruilmodel's contract for importing the their products. Usually no one notices these things, but PCM sent an email and annouced they were dropping the price by $10.00. Funny thing is why havn't the other shops reflected the lower retail price????

I don't think any North American shops have them yet, but they should on the way. Even Blast has them as 'limited stock' but not currently available/deactivated.

Dave a curious question for you...Your looking for Fruili tracks for your Merkiva IV right? I suggest you take a look at WW2 productions offering for the Merkiva IV before you commit to the Fruili tracks.

My two Cents added.

every place I've searched doesn't stock them or has them on pre-order.
Jaymes - I only found 3 items from WWII production in Mission model. where can one have a look at their merk IV tracks?

Nope, you haven't, you've seen Hardcorps "printed" resin track sets which run about $100.00 for the full set, just a little steep.

Matan, I haven't seen or heard anything new on the Friul Merk 4 tracks yet.

Sorry I havn't responded sooner to this thread been a little busy of late .
I was talking to a friend who has used WW2 track alot and you will have to order them directly off them. Sorry for the confusion.
