I saw yesterday at my LHS {right 20 miles each way}

Hobby Boss indi track links for Panzer IV, Tiger I and something else.

I asked and he did not know if they were any good.

price $8.99 for a set to do anything in Panzer IV series.

Question is anybody try them ?

Are they good,Junk leverite.

Thanks all

Scale was 1/35

I got the King tiger late production single link set here in Holland. Couldn't resist them for 6euro.
Personally I think they're great for the money.Details very good,left and right sided,extra links.
4 links per sprue (2left,2right) plus 2 sprocket teeth (tiger II).Come off the sprue very cleanly.
They're non-workable. I haven't used them yet but they seem to go together well
dry.
This guy used them on his Late Tiger II (even though he's forgotten the name).Some good close-up pics.

If you click on 'my photos' below there's a few pics of the sprues.Only 1 page.

I wish they would put this kind of detail into their 1/48 Sherman kits.
