Master Club Track Review

Masterclub Tracks http://masterclub.ru/
There's a new online hobby shop out of Kansas City Mo. that handles Master Club Tracks.
www.hardtargetmodels.com
I needed a set of tracks for my JSU-122 or S-51. Wanting to check out this new product I ordered a set from them for $34.00. Like Fruil tracks these have metal links, but instead of wire they have resin pins.

------------------------------------


The links are pre-drilled all the way through and not on just the ends so if the tiny pins give you fits you can use wire or straight pins to assemble.
There's a couple of areas that you will need to clean up so the links fit together tightly.
The injection point nibs:

And the burrs where the link bosses were drilled.

Not a big deal just time consuming.
The Resin Pins:
There are two with this set of tracks,one for the outer side and a flat headed pin for the inner side.

I could have assembled a whole set of Friuls in the time it took me to do one side of the Master Clubs with the extra clean up and taking extra care installing the delicate pins but they sure look nice when assembled.

I use a chemical black for my metal tracks so the resin pin heads will need to be painted afterwards.
I will not recommend nor condemn this product I leave that up to the consumer.
For your pleasure
