Hi all ...

I'm looking to get some AM tracks ... NOT Fruil as
1) I want plastic and
2) I don't want to pay more than a kit is worth!!

So ... I'm looking around and I find things like 'late' type and 'early' type ...

All of my stuff is 1/35 German WWII ... Panzers, Panthers, Tigers etc ...

I'm not looking at specific brand names per-se ... BUT ... can anyone give me a heads up as to what type/era of tracks fit what machines/variants?? ... so I know what AM track sets to buy for which tank kit!!

I believe Bronco does some German tracks in plastic. But I do like the resin tracks from MasterClub, not as expensive as metal, but nice. Even the metal tracks from MasterClub are not that expensive.

Also take a look at metal from Spade-Ace,nice and not real expensive.Also check ebay for people who are selling their Magic Tracks,or even ask here,some builders hate them and will let you have them for a reasonable price,or maybe just shipping.

Some of the AM plastic ones are just as expensive as metal !!!

Another option is Voyager Models -- they're into tracks of late. It's plastic and reasonably priced. Check them out.

I've used the Kaizen tracks, they are good and not too expensive.
