What is a good source for...
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, October 10, 2003 5:34 PM
Friul or Model Kasten tracks? I want to try some of these but am a hard time finding what I need (Sdkfz 251/1, PzKpfW V, and/or M3 Stuart).

Meanwhile I think I'm gonna start that Quad and 25 pdr.

I used to get mine from Chesapeake Model Designs .... a little pricey but always seemed to have them in stock.

He also makes some of the best AM Sherman parts in the business (now wasn't that just a shameless plug).

Derek,
Another place to try is The Barrel Store ( www.bentbutnotbroken.com ). Modelkasten runs about 24-46 dollars, and Fruil ranges from about 39-45 dollars. To me, this also seems a little pricey, but the last time I bought Fruil tracks was at the 1996 IPMS Nats. Robert may have hit on the best, though. Try 'em both!

Derek, try R&J. They're pretty good on their prices and if they don't have them in stock they'll get them.

I've had good luck getting them from www.modelmecca.com or www.missionmodels.com If only one of those companies would come out with aftermarket tracks for the T-64....

You could try www.greatmodels.com too. I haven't bought anything from them in awhile but they were ok back when I did.

I have found and won friulmodel and modelkasten tracks on e-bay. The only draw back is you don't see them listed every day.
