'I HATE Fruilmodel tracks, the ones I have are not accurate, sloppily moulded and loose fitting'

For which AFV do you have them for? I know that there maybe a little work involved in cleaning them up (like a little 'flash' on the guide horns for some), but they can't be that bad.... I have only used MK tracks once before and they just didn't work out for me at all...I prefer metal tracks because of the natural sag and those Fruilmodel boxes clearly show ya what your getting...the MK boxes are kind of hard to read, at least to me, like if I want a specific pz III track pattern or just something like that....
Have you tried getting a thicker wire for the tracks? Their wire totally sucks! (that's about as nice a thing I can say about the wire they provide, though it is nice to use if you ever need some wire lol) I use a thicker gauge...I believe it's 26 (I don't know what that is in mm)...I got it at a craft store here and the coil only cost like not even $2 US and it can probably last ya for a long while...unless you use it for other work maybe....

Love those Aber fenders though... lol
