Bish I didn't know that about the tracks falling apar. I have used 2 sets and painted with Acrylics and so far so good. I guess time will tell.

Not all of them fall apart, that why I said not all batches are created equal. Problem is, you don't know which ones. I have an unbuilt 1/72 scale Panther with tracks that have deteriorated. I have some 1/72 Shermans that are fine as are my 1/35 Abrams.
modelcrazyWhat are Magic Tracks? That's what comes with the steel wheeled Panther.
Another feature of "magic tracks" is that they're supplied as separate, individual links. That is to say they're not on a sprue, they're literally separate links. They may need a little work if ejector pin marks are present, but require minimal cleanup because you don't have to separate them from a sprue.
Some Tamiya kits have the best of both worlds; they include very nice, gluable one piece vinyl tracks as well as a set of regular styrene link and length tracks that have any sag pre-molded in place. Kits like Tamiya's JS-2, JS-3, ISU and Hetzer include both styles of tracks.
