Tiger I Early Track Links
Karaya 1:35 Set No. MTR-01
Review by Terry Ashley
Assembly is quite straightforward with you firstly cutting the wire provided into 19.5mm (3/4in) lengths using a pair of fine wire clippers and simply fitting the links together by inserting the wire into the pre-drilled pin holes. By adding a small bend at the end of each wire pin will hold the pin in place when pushed all the way into the links and no glue was needed with the assembled track runs being very robust due to being all metal.
The assembled track runs fitted perfectly to the Dragon kit #6252 drive sprockets and to the Tamiya Tiger I kits drive sprockets test fitted without modification and due to the weight gives a very natural and realistic track sag over the road wheels. Also you can get a very realistic finish to the track after painting by lightly sanding the links to expose the metal where natural wear would occur.
Conclusion:
A well detailed set of track links with minimal cleanup and very easy assembly
to provide natural track sag due to the weight of the metal tracks that fits
to different kit drive sprockets without modification.
Highly recommended
Thanks to my Credit Card and the excellent service from Rainbow
Ten for the track set.
