Has anyone used the AA flexable resin tracks? I'm getting a set of Stuart 3 bar cleat type tracks for my T8 project as I gave up on the Academy indi links.
Any opinions/warnings?

Chuck:

I built the Accurate Armor Super Pershing quite awhile back and don't recall any major issues with the track. It came in various lengths, and then indi links for going round the sprockets, etc. As I recall, quality was not an issue.

I used ca, built the tracks in sections, applied them to the tank, and painted and weathered the whole deal at one time.

Good luck.

I have use some of their track. No problem except some clean up works.

But for Stuart Tank the AFV Club replacements are quite good, and reasonably priced.

I'm getting "simi-flexable, resin 3 bar cleat" tracks. The picture shows several long runs and a few indi links.
I thought AFV only did indi links, so if these don't work I'll order the vinyl AFV ones. thanks for the tip.
