Gents,
I'm curious to know about styrene aftermarket tracks (i.e. non-Fruil) out there for the Tamiya Wespe that will fit the kit sprockets. I'm aware that both Bronco and Cyberhobby released PzKpfw II tracks in plastic - anyone have experience with either of them?

Bronco is the cheapest and easiest way to go. Fix well.

If you haven't bought the Wespe yet, note the new Tamiya one includes tracks and sprockets...

Thanks for the words. I've already started one of the 1996 boxings, but the updated boxing looks nice too - I'll likely get one when it's released. I'd wager the tracks in the new release are the same as the link-and-length Panzer II from a few years ago.
