This is a new company name to me. They currently sell M2/M3 Bradley kits but also sell the track separate which is what I brought. With the track set you also get a metal 25mm Bushmaster barrel. You can accessories two kits with this one outside of the Bradley since I don't build a lot of Army stuff ie LAV-25 and LVTP/AAV. The track also works for the MLRS and CV-90.

A review of the Bradley kit if interested, more pics on the tracks.

You don't get the resin item to the far left in the track kit but you do get plastic idler and sprocket wheels.

I found the track to be easier and cheaper then Friul track to make. The track is pre drilled and has pre cut pins that just slide in (a little wiggle is need on some to align the track). These are the bee's knees and hope they make more types.

I got mine here. http://www.microworldgamesllc.com/M2-M3-Bradley-Family-Update-Set-Big-Foot-Metal-Track-Bushmas-ORM004.htm, Fruil is $46 at Sprue Brothers and doesn't have the barrel.

For the old AAV's you need 84 tracks per side, 85 on the new.
Review of the same type of Fruil track with track counts for the Bradley, MLRS adn CV-90 if needed.
