      Before I reply this where I'am up too , bottom row left hand .
      The 2 single tracks are fitted, then the set of 4 , followed be the 8 that wraparound the front idler wheel.
      Just asking is this right before I apply some Contacta , allow it to start to set then wrap it around ?
      Thanks

          It should be if that's what the destructions say Dude 2. Do you have any Tamiya Extra Thin (TET)???. I can't say how contacta works or how long it takes to start setting up...........I'll have a look at your destructions on scalemates......

                Allen , but thought the Contacta was the one to use for the bends with it ability to allow movement before it fully goes off ?

                Cheers Paul, should I do the other end as well towards the drive , just leaving the top track to fit on one side , hope that makes sense .
                Thanks guys .

                      I'd say let the tracks have a few minutes before wrapping them around the idler, it may be a case of try it & see.
                      Looking good John.

                        Hi John I used contacta on my tamiya tiger tracks,instructions said build the complete track and leave for 45- 60 mins before wrapping them round the wheels,I left for about 45 and had no problems.

                          Tracks are looking good. The tablets must be working.

                            I hope so Gerry until now my record with these type of tracks has been poor.

                            Jim, thanks, more the fear of cocking it up and facing the track experts after .

                              DRUM ROLL !!!!!!!!

                              Thanks for the advice on doing these tracks. The tape worked a treat, apart from sticking it to my hand several times:smiling2:

                              I give you .

                              Top run glued at one end so I can fit it on the model once painted.

                              Happy days to say the least. The first time I've been able to do these so thanks for the tips. I'd glued the section with Contacta and left them for about 1.5 hrs.
