Those tracks do look nice but I always look at their sets and think is it worth the additional cost and effort.

Jase I mainly only pick these things up at shows, you can get them at roughly €22 instead of €31/32. Cheers too mucker |

Yes that's what I try to do as well Paul, I've also used spade ace tracks in the past, similar to fruils but sometimes a lot cheaper.

Oh man, I never used Friuls and after that I won't want to use never! But you did an amazing work mate! |

Pete, I must give those a go when my Frillie stash is depleted  . Marco, don't be scared of them ole chap, the tracks are bloody amazing . The majority of them is all easy work, drill from one side and add one pin, there's just a couple of odd balls out there like these . |

You crack me up Marco . Here's a tad more chaps, I did try to recreate the track covers with aluminium foil, but it din't work out. So it was back to the kit parts .   Next will be primer on the lower hull and running gear, gotta do this next because getting that on later will be a PITA |

Marco, Pete, Boots, cheers muckers . Marco, if mention Photoetch again you're going to the naughty step  . The hull and running gear are down in the cellar drying orfe, after being primered this morning. So I cracked on with the turret, which is now complete . I have added a few tweaks, the mantlet got the half cover and a sight cover, the .30 got a cover and a barrel added. Also the welds around all the sticky out bitz were added, the spare tracks are of course stained Frillies and are only dry fitted at the mo.   More tomorrow dudes when I start painting the hull up |
