H35/39 Track
(workable)
Modelkasten 1:35 set #SK-40
Review by Terry Ashley
The set consists of injected plastic track links and small pins to fit these together plus two white metal drive sprockets and a large jig to aid in assembling the links.
The detail on the links is very good and the only cleanup needed is the small bur left after cutting the links from the sprues but if you are careful removing the links this is only very minor.
The new drive sprockets unfortunately have teeth that are too long and slightly the wrong profile while the hub bolt details is okay but not that well defined.
Once the glue has dried simply cut the pins from their sprue with a sharp blade and you are done with the track lengths articulating freely and are also quite robust when handling the lengths.
The assembled tracks obviously fit the MK drive sprockets well and also fit the Trumpeter drive sprockets equally well to make in no time at all a very good looking and detailed set of tracks which have 112 links per side.
Conclusion:
Nicely detailed and easy to assembly tracks that have far superior details
than the vinyl Trumpeter kit tracks.
Just a note, these tracks nor the recent Armour Workshop H39 tracks fit the Bronco Models H39 drive sprockets as the sprocket hub is wider than the Trumpeter sprockets which means the guide teeth are not far enough apart to fit the Bronco sprocket.
Highly recommended.
