Very nice review thanks. One thing perhaps but not 100% sure as English is not my native language, shouldn't it be " discovered that the tracks produced by MasterClub are 0,74mm narrower then they should be" (narrower instead of narrow)?

Cheers,

Christophe

To be clear : the scale tracks are 3/4 of mm light in their width for the scale ? . How could this be noticed ? ( by non-robots ) .

No, this is not possible to notice of course. Just for those who really care about 0,75mm. Otherwise - they are great!

O K. . I'm impressed you noted it in the article - as you should have . I was making sure I read the '0,75' notation correctly . Thanks

Thanks, the blocks on the hull are placed incorrect. I will fix that later when I have time to build the model.

Sorry guys, I was pointed out that I measured the track width wrong and that means that have actually perfect width. The text would be edited to reflect that
