Hi Guys ,

Friend of mine is doing a Meng T-90 , but doesn't

really care for the kit track !

How are the Trumpeter T-90 Workable tracks # 02064 ?

Can't seem to find a review of them anywhere !

Thanks for any help in this matter !

Hi Joey;

The Trump, tracks are real nice for the T-72. So I can only think that the T-90 track set would be o.k. ! Or He could go with the Fruil, track set. And you can even use the RMSH on the T-90, There are Plenty of Pics, of T-90s with them both. But What was the reason Why the Dislike for the kits tracks.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Hi Mike ,

Thanks for the info & response . My friend doesn't like them because they're (meng's tracks) are like vinyl and he said he would prefer to have hard plastic track > also we were asking about the trumpeter T-90 workable track because i have a set of workable tracks from trumpeter for the T-64 and they are very nice , but trumpeter also makes a set of workable tracks for the BMP-1 (but for DML's old kit not trumpeter's new one)So just wanted to mke sure that the T-90 tracks were new and not just a rehash of someone else's old tracks ! Thanks Joey

I built meng's T90 and the only vinyl in it are the end connectors. the links/horn guides are hard plastic and they take paint very well. using the included jig, they're easy to assemble and went together rather quickly. I've built metal: fruil and spade ace, plastic: modelkasten, masterclub and hk creation workshop. meng's T90 tracks are as good as, if not better than, all the above

Hi Joe
I have a set of the track you are asking about .
The end connectors are fixed to the links, and the links are designed to snap together. Trumpeter has a new set out that is designated as being for the T80 It has separate end connectors and looks just like the T90 ones.
Good Luck Donald
