Which Tracks to use?

most of the tracks top will be obscured by the tank so sagging is not a issue. the link tracks were very hard to assemble for me. i saw a friend of mines who had used the vinlyn- it look just as goos or better. also.......... he compleded his much sooner. go with the vinlyn tracks.

If you just take your time, links aren't so difficult.
For high-tension tracks like on the M3 that don't really have pronounced sag, the vinyl tracks may be fine, if you are satisfied with the detail on them.

I only use link trax on tanks with a lot of track sag, like Tigers, JS-IIs, etc.
Or on kits where the belt trax are terrible!

Indy tracks can be very time consuming and a bit of a challenge at first. Like
J-Hulk has already pointed out there is very little sag in an M3's tracks, so I would probably opt for the vinyl tracks depending on how clean they were manufactured, save your indies for another day unless you want to give them a try.

Is it really possible to tell the difference between one line of track and another? They all look the same to me...

might be good to do them for practice, just to see how they go together!

I built the "Honey" with the American style and used the vinyl tracks. They worked out great, looked awesome, one warning though, be careful with the assembly of them, if your not careful you could melt too much of the track.

We learn commensurate with the obstacles placed before us.

Say, since you have both in the kit, why not try the links?
If you crash and burn (which I don't think you'll do!) just use the belt!
You have a safety net, so no worries!

I agree with J-Hulk, give it a try! If you're still too unsure and want to try an easy individual link track, start with something like DML's Stalins. The tracks go together easily and have a lot of sag. No 'links' or 'end connectors' (depending if you're talking like a WWII vet or current tanker), just single shoes to mess with. That's what I started on and have made many vehicles since with various types of individual link tracks. It's not as difficult as it looks, just time consuming.
