I used the Masterclub 432 tracks and really liked them. I found the resin pins a bit fiddly to get in (and of course there are 2 for weach link) and a few of them snapped due to tight fit. But there were enough spares and quite often they had gione in far enough to hold the link before it snapped. I like the idea of the seperate pads. In painted and weathered the tracks and then added those after. I have bought a few more sets since. More time consuming than Fruils due to 2 resin opins rather than 1 bit of wire, but i prefer the Masterclub ones.

 

Thank you Bish for sharing your experience. I like the look of the Master Club too.

M4 Sherman T48 Workable Tracks
Posted by Sergeant on Friday, February 21, 2020 7:46 AM

I understand there were at least 14 different type of tracks developed for the M4 Sherman over it's service life. The style I'm most interested in is the T48 which is available from the following model manufactures: AFV Club, Master Club, FriulModel, ModelKasten and there may be others.

I have one review regarding Master Club that looks promising and a related review by Paul Budzik. Does anyone have experience with Master Club, or any of the other manufactures they would be willing to share?
