          Hi Lee, tell me about it..........I have not had my head around this for years!! Still have Minitanks from my youth in original packaging .29, .39, .49 cents.......today it is $29, $39, $49 dollars and up. I sure am glad I amassed the bulk of my collection years ago. There are still REAL bargains to be had on Evil Bay if you are willing to do the legwork. Recently got a bus model for $2.50 plus shipping that would have retailed for around $35.00. Were you thinking about modeling Tractors and trailers, Agriculture or Military?......just curious.

            I have a bunch of Kibri Tractors and Trailers I would like to build and I would like to get some modern Roco European Military vehicles like LKW Man trucks and MB Trucks. Your right I’ve found some buys on Sleezbay. I like the bigger Millitary stuff but I’m running out of room for them. After the GB I’ll probably start building 1/87 Kibri Trucks some will be Millitary.

                Tim. Thanks this is about the second time I’ve used this glue and it’s working quite well for me.

                        Hi Lee
                        Track looks good. Hope the other one goes as well or even better.

                              Finished the other Track gave me a little trouble but I finished the lower Hull after that. Then I started on the upper Hull got a little done all those bracelets and started getting tired. You guys with your updates and Completed builds have got my mojo back up on this thanks.

                                That's coming along nicely Lee. I wish the tracks were that detailed in 1-87 scale! :thumb2: Rick H.
