R Model 35097R 1/35 Type 97 Chi-Ha Medium Tank Metal Tracks
Our R Model's track sets are distinct for exclusively using brass pins, setting them apart from the more commonly supplied stainless steel pin versions by other retailers. This choice enhances both the appearance and functionality in several key ways:
- Precision and Detail: Brass pins come with more details due to its malleability compared to stainless steel. This means that these track links feature more intricate designs, contributing to the overall realism of your models.
- Natural Weathering: Brass pins are predisposed to oxidise over time, a property that stainless steel pins lack. This oxidation process enables modellers to achieve a range of weathered looks easily, adding to the authenticity of the model's appearance without requiring additional treatments.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: The natural aging process of brass lends a realistic, time-worn look to the tracks, enhancing the visual depth and historical accuracy of your models.
- Durability with Authenticity: While both materials are durable, brass pins offer a unique combination of structural integrity and the ability to age naturally, balancing longevity with aesthetic appeal.

Since Fruilmodel is no more, R Model becomes the only real competition to Masterclub for metal tracks.
This set for the Type 97 is an awesome set. Previous sets came with a wire that had to be cut and pinned to the links like the Fruil tracks.
Not any more. Now these tracks come with brass pins that slide in from the Out Side of the tracks. For the most part the tracks are clean enough that they are ready for assembly. Occasionally however, some clean up will be required. Also note that most of the brass pins will fit snugly in the holes. MOST. I would recommend a drop of CA anyway.
Best of all, these tracks will fit the drive sprockets, of both the Tamiya and Fine Molds Type 97s, and their derivatives like the Honi I and Honi III tank detroyers.
Definitely Recommended.
