What would you guys recommend for workable tracks for the T-55A?

Fruils, Masterclub, ModelKasten?

Opinions are very appreciated as this will be my first Soviet Vehicle ever

I recommend ModelKasten. MasterClub are fine, but tedious work IMHO.

I'll second Dmitry's ModelKasten vote. I've used Friul's in the past, but I find that MK tracks are easier to work with, and are less expensive to boot.
