HI, Contact the folks up at R and J Products and see if the owner has worked out a deal with the Fruil people yet on this kit. The last time I talked to him he said he was trying to get Fruil to send him whatever extra links needed from the tracks for the Fruil set for the Pazer I F (I think this is the kit) and repack them for the Sturer Emil. Now this has been a couple of months ago, so he may have set something up by now.

Take care, Sgirty

I used the kit box track. Thanks to Moezilla I was able to stretch the tracks and made it work. IMHO I think Trumpeter did a good job on the tracks.

The right tracks for the Sturer Emil would be the ones for PzKpfw. I F.

Friul makes a set (ATL-64), but i would stay away from them. They don't fit the drive sprocket and there is no replacement drive sprocket that comes with the tracks (like in a few other friul sets).

As few weeks ago we tested that in my local hobby shop. The owner wanted to sell Trumpeters Sturer Emil with a Friul-track-set, but after dry-fitting the tracks with the kits sprocket he skipped the plan.
