Has anyone used Friulmodel T80E1 tracks?

Building a DML M46, made the mistake of buying AFV-Club T80E1s before reading the reviews. Can't find a single review of Friulmodels rendering (kit ATL-145). Anyone tried these and have any words of wisdom?

I got a set for a What If IDF M47. I have not built the tracks but the set I have is well cast. The sections around the sprockets and the idler wheels are pre bent.

Just finished a set of the ATL-145's (T80E1) I'll be applying to a 1967 Jordanian M-47 (Testors). Exceptional fit by the way. Should prove worthy to apply to your M-46 (the same Friul's fit the Takom M47 quite nicely too). I'll also be dressing a couple more M-47's with Friul 'shoes', from the ATL-156 set (T84E1) that also fit Takom's kit(s)!

Thanks for the quick response guys! Looks like a set of Friuls is in my near future.

Just to follow up, got a set and these are fantastic tracks. Very little clean-up, just the expected drilling. Easy to assemble. Thanks again for the advice!
