On a Tiger kit? Surely not …

If you want to add photoetched bits, it pays to ask yourself whether you think you’ll actually use most of it. Very often, etched detail sets provide far more parts than are actually useful, or even that you can reasonably build. Also, when you do have a set, you may want to compare the etched part to the kit’s version and to the real thing, to decide whether it’s an improvement or not — because many sets would have you replace a round plastic part by a flat etched part, when the real thing is round.

Indeed. I do like the look of metal tracks but not sure I could go through the pain of assembling them

I’ve built one set of metal tracks in my life, and though that went well enough, I didn’t enjoy it enough to want to use nothing but If the kit you settle on comes with hard plastic tracks, then replacing them by metal ones is probably unnecessary anyway, though it does depend a bit of ease of assembly too, I suppose
