I've got a set of their T48 tracks. Haven't used them yet, but I expect the
same level of joy in their construction and use. They are superb in detail.
They are of the pin type - Fruil no longer makes any "position and squeeze"
sets, to the best of my knowledge...they converted their whole line.

Only concern I have is that Shermans don't seem to have suffered from much
track sag in any pictures I've seen, so the running gear might need a little
strengthening to et the metal tracks tight enough. However, since this is
only conjecture on my part, I'll worry about that come construction time.
