Meet Olga,

[monica]

Where there is a will, there is a way...... very nicely done!

ta Gavin,just working out the rest ,is the hard part,

Gets my approval looks just right, boy that sure makes life easy, "no wrasslin wit da python" ...............Jim

ta Jim,glad you do like it,so far is the easy part lol,


those sectional/ridged things are just awful; your words my dear, this is were the tricky part comes in,on joining the rest,


and were and how to have the two joins to be able to paint then put back on ?


or I know this may seam ,not the right thing to do but how about use the rubber part around the ends,where the drive wheel and the front ones are ?????


or is tht just a very silly thing to say or even think about doing >????

Don't think mixing the two is wise, vinyl tracks are notorious for not accepting glue, I use a mixture of "Plastruct" and Testors plastic cement and never get consistent results having at times to re-do track sag. Once your committed to one or the other, stick with it............Jim

To me indy- tracks are the pits, very frustrating, you never end up getting it just right at the last joining point and if you have to clean each oneops:ops:ops:ops:ops:

If I was you Moni, I'd add the individual links to the bottom track run at either end. Then while the glue is still taking hold ( about 10 minutes with Revell Contacta) bend them around the drive & idler sprockets.


Once the glue has fully cured, you can then add the upper track run & if there's any problems, it'll be covered by the front & rear mudguards.

I think that sounds like a good idea Patrick,as i have not done very mean individual links,or this type,so even it i just do over the drive & idler sprockets.,


I should still be able to have some movement in them ,and as you said will be cover by the guard,thks for the help,
