Yes they are link by link tracks (workable ) Make sure you get the workable ones ...But if you want to try something new why not try the new set from WWII Productions ..I hear it comes with exta detail parts for the hull too....you can e-mail them for more info at

I had great service from them and can say that their tracks are great....If you want to see some of their track sets go to PMMS web site and look at the new kit reviews...

Yes, they are plastic and individual.

and are they easy to put together.


The Modelkasten Tiger tracks are not as difficult as some MK's; however, you do have to put all of the teeth on every link... by the time you are done you have assembled over 1000 pieces of plastic!

Here's a shot of tiger I with MK's...

I like them alot... but they are a bit of work.

If you have the friuli's use them... they are nearly as detailed and the weight of the white metal gives perfect sag.

Later,
