in a german modeling forum, I read the following method. I have modified it a little, tried it on my 1/35 Nichimo Tiger and I am surprised how easy it was compared to the stories you read about Friul assembly on the Internet. Only thing you need additionally are Syringe needle tips that do not cost a lot of money, especially in relation to how easy and quick it is.
I used "Braun Sterican Size 20, ø0,4mm x 20mm.
As the needles have sharp tips and the White Metal of the tracks is soft, there is no pre-drilling required if the holes are not massively blocked. I just took a syringe needle tip, 2 track Elements and pressed the needle into the holes. Then the syringe adapter ist cut off and the final 1-2mm are inserted by pressing the needle end on the workbench. When the track length was reached, I secured the needle ends with a little superglue (probably not even necessary) and inserted the final pin. "Playing around" with the track will assure that they are fully moveable.
Sorry I do not have better pictures of the process, I was too busy doing the track
Thanks for looking
KM
