Thanks!

A very nice review Darius, but I would like to direct you to MiniArt as an alternate offering.

That's correct Darren, saw them in your review, they are very nice. But they don't have 40cm tracks, only narrow, 38 ones. As i wrote, i hope There will be Bronco tracks released, as they included both 3A and 5A (with ice cleats) included in their Stug release.
Then we are pretty good to go, as Dragon puts DS tracks now in every kit, even when same kit released earlier had Magic tracks...

I have not compared prices with AFV but Kaizen tracks are extremely nice and cost effective.

Thanks for the review Darius, I have a set on the shelf and wondered how they would build like.

And incredibly hard to find or badly distributed depending on your point of view.

That's exactly my point. None of European web shops i do my shopping has them. They have good selection of panzer 3/4 tracks, that's true, unfortunately they cost ~50% more, than AFV club set in almost every single web shop that carries both. Putting things straight, at the cost same as Modelkasten, i would probably go for later ones, as i have tried them, and like them a lot.

Got all excited when you used the word "steel" in the title description, thinking that they would be metal track links. Why bother saying "steel" when virtually all German tracks were made of steel? Ya, I know, picky, picky, but hey, I was really looking forward to another source for metal tracks.

You're right on title, but that's what box says.

Anyone know , if these are the same tracks ,used on any of the Opel or Mercedes Maultiers ?

nope, Mercedes maultiers use panzer 2 tracks, you can use track links made by Bronco (https://www.scalemates.com/kits/137686-bronco-ab3513-pzkpfw-ii-sd-kfz-121-workable-track-link)
Meanwhile Opel used Panzer 1 tracks.
Theres also numerous alternatives in both metal, plastic and resin.

Hi Kaktusas. Cheers for that mate ♡ ♡
