Definately indy's. But let me caveat that a little.
It depends on how the indy's are molded.
- Do they have major ejector pin marks on them? If so, are they in a place that's "easy" to fix, or are they between the guide horns where it's really hard?
- Are they accurate? (DML's 1/35 Elefant tracks are beautifully molded with NO ejector pin marks, but they aren't accurate.)
- Are the sprue connecting points real heavy which makes the links harder to remove and clean up? (Some of DML's are HUGE!)
- Once built, are they so delicate they'll fall apart at the least provocation? (Most of us know where Model Kasten's fall into this!)
- Once built, are they straight, or do they curve to the point where they are unusable? I've seen a couple of posts about Friulmodelissemo's Panther tracks about this.)
- How tough are they to assemble properly? As Robert and others have pointed out, the tracks for Sherman derivitives are pretty tough.
I still prefer indy's over all. But some are definitely better than others. Some of the new vinyl tracks look pretty nice, but they often have ejector "pips" on them that are dificult to remove, often are too tight or too loose, are dificult to sag properly, and sometimes don't paint or glue well.
Getting off, now!!
