You are probably right. Less pain.

I actually have a pair of RFM tracks on the bench that I'm building up for my Tamiya Tiger I. Only 498 pieces per side (actually they are going together pretty well).

I’m glad the King Tiger only has 90 or so per side!

Do you what, and I know this sounds mad, but the RFM tracks I have for my Tiger have 5 parts per link, and I (think I) need 98 links per side. The link, two pins and two guides all need to be glued together - and I have to say I'm actually enjoying it. I find the process quite cathartic. I'm looking forward to seeing them on the build.

I watched a few reels of a feller’s Tiger build. The tracks did seem to go together nicely. The jug helped a lot.

But who’s counting?

I've been putting off the tracks on my Meng Panther, but now they look less daunting. Those do look good though.
