Yes some Fruilmodel tracks are less accurate that their Model Kasten counterparts. Their Pz. IV tracks are a lot "beefier" than they should be. Their Cromwell tracks are awful, being just a copy of the Tamiya kit tracks that are wrong.
Another problem is that they can be too lose and too large of a spave between each link can appear.
They're also more expensive that Model Kasten.
Model Kasten on the other had, in each set I have, they are very accurate. I prefer them being in styrene since they are a lot easier to work with... afterall... the kit is made of styrene too!
I also like certain types of resin tracks.
Paul. |
