There have been some questions and discussion on the merits of the different individual track sets available for the various Sd.Kfz.251 kits and a comparison review of the AFV Club, Friulmodel, ModelKasten and Dragon individual link sets has been posted here for those interested?

Great review Terry ... again. This is what modellers want and need.
Im glad to see the dragon tracks hold up well, as Ive got a few sets of these to build shortly. From reading this comparison, I dont feel the need to buy AM tracks.
On Missing links recently, James tainton has posted pictures of his almost completed AFV 251/9. Really cool vehicle and first class paint job.
See ML thread here
On PlanetArmor, you can also read James´s virtual build of this model, going into detail about parts, fit, tracks, etc. He used parts from the dragon kit and compares both throughout. Well worth a read, for anybody building or is considering building this model!
If you´ve got the Dragon kit and your ezi-tracks have the punch holes, James describes how he fills them and assembles the tracks.
