General Impression &
Note
I’m sure these tracks will have much better effect than original soft plastic tracks have. I do hope that the track fit well to the sprocket wheel because if not it will be more problematic to install them on the kit. (I have similar experience with tracks of Cromwell unfortunately). Note: These tracks are designed for the Pz.IV by Hasegawa so it means they could be used also for other tanks with same chassis offered by this company (Wirbelwind, Ostwind as well as ammunition vehicle). I think they could fit also to older kits by ESCI which include the soft plastic tracks too, but it has to be tested. The producer should decide to realize similar sets also for other kits by Hasegawa /for ex. Sd.Kfz. 7 and/or 251 D/ because it will makes happy not only me.
