Hey All,
Just picked up a set of Fruil (ATL-08) for my Jagdpanther.....(guess the wife won't be seeing me for a while!).
Quick question, how many for each side !!
Thanks

I have 82 and 83 on mine... what I did was simply use the kit tracks as a guide. They touch the roadwheels at the 4th roadwheel.
Had roughly 1.00 - 1.30 hours of work per track (including cleaning the links).
Don't worry, you'll have enough for spares...
Hope this helps,
Harm.

86 links on each side were used in reality, but you should try how many you need, rather than making the tracks too long for the model.

IIRC the Tamiya track has 88 thing is, if you put then next to eacother, the Friul links are slightly bigger...
This is also the reason I have heared/read from some modellers that they prefer for example MK tracks on smaller vehicles.
