I HATE ITALERI TRACKS Today I decided to put on the Chaffee kit tracks I had left off the sprockets and idler wheels as I wouldn't be able to put on the kit tracks over them because of the fenders
I am using Friulmodel sprockets and idler wheels I went to put the sprocket on and the sprocket came off the monting post due to the kit tracks
So now it looks like I gotta use Friulmodel indy links
Verie sad state of affairs

I hear ya Zod! When I built my Chaffee I used the kit tracks, but I had to superglue in a little spacer since they were so dang tight! Now I am buildijng the Italeri Paladin and the tracks on it are way to loose! Why cant they get it right, Grrrrrr!

I must be one of the lucky ones. The Chaffee tracks went on, (with a bit of a struggle I'll admit), but CA'd quickly. They're not the best, as you say.
