Are these fake Friulmodel tracks?

I used a similar (ATL-25) Friulmodel set on my Tiger 1 build. Some links had molding burrs that needed to be removed from the casting process, and some were worse than others. In most cases, you could quickly and easily snap them off with your thumb nail or miniature file etc.

The link in the last picture is an oddity I would think, but if it is a legitimate Friulmodel set, you should have plenty of spares.

Edit: Just looking back at the pictures, I see those were made in Italy?
They should be from Hungary. Looks like you may have been duped unfortunately 🙁

If you look at the picture, that's not how these are set up. These are a poor snap fit design compared to the Friulmodel ones.

There is no place to insert wire as they are casted with pins and no holes

Looks like there has been some fakes doing the rounds, and as a result Friulmodel and Friulmodelismo? no longer sell to suppliers, requiring people to now buy direct instead. I'd look at returning them if possible. I wasn't aware of it before reading this...

Thanks James! Ive found out these are actually much older Friul tracks. I've contacted the seller as he had the newer style 220 atl-06 tracks and these were the older style snap together atl-06 with only 210 tracks. Waiting to hear back, but looks like I'll be returning them for a refund and ordering direct from Friulmodel.

Album info

Purchased these on eBay listed as ATL-06 from Friulmodel. But this is what I received. They go together like a poor fitting snap fit kit.
