Does Asuka still sell their tracks online? I know they are still on the website, but they are always out of stock. I have been going back and checking every few days for quite a while now (a few months), and have never seen ANY in stock, is there no hope of ever getting a set of their duckbills?

Try googling the part number. Sometimes there is a set for sale out there. That is your only hope. I found a long out of stock AM set in a Ukraine shop a while back, so it is possible you will find one.
Every once in a while they restock the online shop, but so far only sprues as far as I could tell.

John, I think there's no hope of ever getting a set of their duckbills like you said. They've been out of stock for years. In addition, Asuka recently increased its shipping fee to minimum $20. You may be better off getting an after-market set.

That's really too bad, I really like working with their tracks, I just happened to pick up the wrong firefly Ic kit, I wanted one with the duckbills (didn't realize that there were 2 different kits when I bought it, I only knew about the one with the duckbills).

I just noticed on the Asuka website, they have tracks available again, I got the ones I needed, plus a few to use in place of the DS tracks in the Dragon shermans I have. who knows when they will be available again?
