Minor extends their range of ready-to-use workable tracks with the addition of cast type Zgw5001/280/140 for the Sd.Kfz 251 and Sd.Kfz. 11 plus the Borgward.
These tracks are 3D printed and come already assembled, remaining workable. They only need to join the ends gluing one part.

With the large number of Sd.Kfz. 251 kits available, they will be very helpful for a lot of modellers.

The Borgward can now benefit from these tracks as well.

Hi

I've seen these tracks before and was wondering if anybody had purchased them or had a close look at a set.

Are they as they state "workable" in the sense of each track link articulates on it's own like Masterclub, Friuls etc. or are they more like a detailed set of rubber band substitutes, after all they (rubber bands) could be described as workable.

Hi Alan,
I did a review here:

They are truly workable, with individual track links. I think you can see it on the photos, if you have any other question just let me know.

16:50- Euro + VAT for a set for the Sd.Kfz. 250
slightly cheaper than a set of Friul tracks

And I thought that Dragon's Magic Tracks saved me a lot of time! These really are the best of both worlds: easy to use and individually-articulating! I just knew that 3D printing technology was going to offer us modelers a great boon!
