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 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

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.

Pete, I must give those a go when my Frillie stash is depleted ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Marco, don't be scared of them ole chap, the tracks are bloody amazing ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . 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 ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) .

You crack me up Marco ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . 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 ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49833946888_9970cccbe4_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49834790872_65c3e5ea18_c.jpg) Next will be primer on the lower hull and running gear, gotta do this next because getting that on later will be a PITA ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Marco, Pete, Boots, cheers muckers ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Marco, if mention Photoetch again you're going to the naughty step ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . 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 ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . 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. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49841807268_5fdb0bf06d_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49841807603_225806290b_c.jpg) More tomorrow dudes when I start painting the hull up ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
