      You’ve got the tracks on the other way around now, other than that they’re not that easy to tell apart

        I know, I also noted I had left off the white markers even though they were on the bench ready to put on but forgot them. The tacks on this one are correct #1 was wrong and never noticed.

              I’ve got some pictures of an AVRE with one track on one way, and the other track the other way. I intend to build that one at some point I’m sure there were Churchills with both tracks the wrong way round.

                As for Matron and committee awarding 'The Dogs!' I think that it should be make golden!

                    We did it with 432's and Chieftains, even turned the tank around to make sure it was the right way. Or better still towed the 432 off the old tracks, then towed it back onto the old tracks, did everything up (new track pins/pumped up the adjuster) and wondered which vehicle the new track laying laid out was for....
