Does any one have any experience using these tracks? Just trying to get an idea of the pain level before I buy.

TIA

I do not, but I did have the misfortune of buying a conversion of theirs. If you send your email address I can send you photos to help you make a decision.

If its the ones that are lengths of like 10 links made of resin. They are they are not very good, almost imposible to use. Spade Ace has individual links that are great.

Sigh. How fickle we become.

I mastered the M110 set when all there was were the HORRIBLE things Italeri called tracks. Built properly, they were a HUGE improvement. But, Spade Ace tracks, I have 2 sets myself, are MUCH better again. We made a stop gap, it worked for a while.

Robert, do I know about your problem?

No. I don't even think I remember you being involved with that company, so I apologize about that. I had the Nona kit that I took to Afghanistan with me in '02, and let's just say it had some issues. As it turned out, I never had time to do any building there anyway. I guess I had the wrong MOS.
I'm not home now but will be soon. I'll get with you about it then if you like.

Ah. '02. That is about a million years ago compared to Sergej's stuff now. Yeah, the Nona from back then would have been pretty rough. Well, better than my first Nona from him. Mine came in fiberglass resin...not fiberglass, JUST the resin. Nasty, brittle stuff. Now he is top notch with pressure casting equipment and the best resin on the market! Check out sammmodels (our webpage) when you can to see the diff.

BTW, I did a LOT of rework and mods on my own build of it. you are not alone.
