Alot of people talk about the new 1/35 scale dragon kits, High quality, good kits... Are all of these new kits individual link tracks?

I think the only newer kits that have vinyl one piece tracks are the Tiger(P) and Bergetiger(P) kits.
The new halftrack and Tiger kits have Indy links, as does the new Sherman kit.

hi johnny , fear not my freind i,ve just done my first dragon 1/35 armour kit and the indvidual track thing is nothing to worry about provided you use the jig method as described by vinnie in any of he,s articles on hanomag,s
if you look on the armour home page i,m sure there is a link to one of he,s articles on a 251which shows the method for doing the tracks they really are easy just a little fiddly thats all but imho they look really realistic when done
hope this helps

For more detailed info, check out the many reviews on Armorama. Or another great source is here:
http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/reviews.htm

Check them out. See if it seems too daunting before you plunk down your cash.

Or better yet, stop by the largest Armor hobby shop in America this year. The AMPS National convention in Hubbard OH (your home state).
