Tiger I Gruppe Fehrman 1/35th Scale Advice?

[Guest]

Hi All,

I recently purchased this kit, and from video's I have seen online, it appears that people do not like the tracks that come with this kit. Does anyone have suggestions or advice regarding which upgrade kits suite this model?

[Guest]

That depends on which kit you've bought John. Is it the Academy, Cyberhobby or Rye Fields one?

My apologies, I have the Academy Kit.

Well as far as I know the vinyl tracks with that kit aren't particularly bad as rubber band tracks go.

However, individual track links are always better, but often expensive. You could look on ebay as sometimes Dragon Magic Tracks come up for sale.

Or go for a set of Rye Field workable links. These are very well detailed, but fiddly. I found these with a quick search

John, I've made a few Academy tiger 1's and kept the perfectly acceptable rubber tracks, but one one occasion I used these early Tiger track links. They are relatively cheap, easy to put together and make up to excellent tracks.

If they are suitable, try John at the S.M. shop and see if he can get them.
