Model Forum / General / Models / January 2008Dragon Magic Tracks
How are Dragon's Magic Tracks different from regular styrene tracks? I see that they are not on a sprue, but otherwise...what difference is there?

They are pretty much cleaned up with only a minimum of work to get them ready to assemble - usually a couple of stroke with a file to get rid of the mold pip. They assemble with friction and stay together until you can touch them with a bit of liquid cement to hold them, which is a lot better than some others that need much more cleanup and have to have each link cemented together as you go. Or that's the theory. I haven't had any problems when following DML's suggestions and they are easier (if you want misery try the three-part single link Sherman VVSS tracks...)

I haven't bought a model with the magic tracks yet, but they sound like a brilliant idea for simplifying things. I was always fond of the Tamiya snap-together polyethylene tracks for their 1/25 scale tank kits. If you want to drive yourself crazy, do the polyethylene and metal rod ones on a Tauro A-7V.
