What time period track would be correct to use on a Bergetiger?
I pre-ordered the new Begetiger by RFM and would like to replace the tracks that come with the kit with a set of Fuirl.
Would a mid-late set (ATL-06) be appropriate ? or should I look for an initial / early set or transport set instead.

Thanks

Use Late tracks.

FRIUL ATL-06 Tiger 1 (Mid-Late production) from all the photographic references I have seen.

Might I ask something as well?
For the RFM 5003, surely the early track links from Friulmodel would be correct? I know it must sound stupid, but I want to ascertain myself prior to making a purchase. Also, how are the Voyager PE parts for the kit? Any good?

Thank you

That's what my LHS recommended regarding the tracks for the early tiger

Yes, RM5003 used "early" tracks, but tell us please the number of the set that you are thinking about.

Hello,

I was thinking about buying the ATL-25 set of early type tracks (the initial ones are from what I gathered too early for the type I intend to build?)

Cheers!

Yes, ATL-25 is correct for RM5003.
