LOL...ER
BJ, did some testing on those KV tracks last night. Don't need glue for them, BUT you do have to drill the end holes as they are not through holes. Also a bit of sanding is needed to clean the one side, not much, just a swipe pr two with the file. I will get pics up of these tracks today. I did a test run of about ten links to see how they are.

Thanks Nate and G. They are not very fragile compared to the AFV Sherman tracks. You just have to be careful when drilling the through holes. I snapped one link in half applying too much pressure. Other than that these are great resin tracks.

lovely stuff indeed. I've build those MasterClub tracks only once for the Initial Tiger I (at a time when Friul didn't have the initial mirrored tracks in their catalogue) and I must say I love those MC tracks: little clean up and the idea of assembly with those track pins is marvallous.
Just one negative thing: like all Russian resin it stinks ;D ;D ;D
Cheers

Thanks Bill and Spud.
Spud what you see is what you get bro. You only have to give the one end a swipe with the nail file where the casting block was. Basically you can just start putting them together.....no glue required.

After working on the tracks here and there I have one and a half runs done. Between these tracks, the ones for the M51 and panther I am slowly getting burnt out.
