Does anyone know if they will fit? Are they like the Sherman, or Abrams where there are angled links (want to avoid that)

Are they typically seen with sag worthy of the weight of the Friuls?

Doesn't the Meng kit come with workable plastic tracks? Why would you want track sag on this tank?





The upper run rested on rollers on a frame so the only place it could sag would be the 1-block long space between the roller frame and the idler.

Absolutely - I see your point. I have the fit unopened but recent experiences with plastic workable tracks have been annoying as I like the durability of the friuls when handling, weathering and installing
