I'll watch (very quietly) you doing the tracks, never done them myself, seen a few done on here, but always willing to learn

[Tim Marlow]

Good work so far Lee. Tracks look pretty good as well, not as many parts as the Trumpeter ones John, Allen, and I are doing…they even look pre curved. Im sure you’ll be fine with them :thumb2:

Looking good Lee, I did some Tamiya link & length tracks on a Valentine, they are pretty well engineered, as usual with Tamiya.

Tony, Rick, Gerry, Graeme, Jim. Thanks for the complements. I’m sure the Tracks will be easy this is one thing o like about Tamiya kits simple instructions and great fit even at this scale. More updates soon

[Allen Dewire]

Late to the party Lee and I see I haven't missed too much of your fine work. She's looking good so far Buddy. And I hope the snow isn't too deep either...............

Glad to hear the build is going so well. Keep up the great work my friend

[Lee Drennen]

Allen and Steve Thanks for the complements. Sorry for the late reply just been so busy lately.

I finally faced my fears of this kit today the link tracks. This is my second time I’ve done link tracks in 1/48 and these went together with easy till the end where I had to sand down the ends just a little to make a good fit there not the best but I’m going with it. The Tamiya Glue was a big help. When these set up good I’ll move to the other side.
