Not good, If they cant be superglued im 99% sure there's aftermarket tracks for stug's Iv just finished two tracks for my type 5 chi-ri, For one track its 102 links, in total, 204 parts so 408 sprue joins and 408 times iv had to shave them, double that for the other track.
First time iv used magic tracks but they act and feel like real tracks but wont cost the same as metal tracks.


Coming along quite nice tho!, makes me wanna get back into the WW2 tanks

glad that your liking it so far,I only real like the ww11 stuff,


I just used the magic track links on my other German tank gun thing,and i did not mind them at all,


just a few little spots were i did nott get the glue on right ,


there must be an easy way of doing the gluing for them ?

Hope you get some new tracks sorted Moni. I have a couple of tanks in the stash, I shall be watching for inspiration

glad your liking it so far,Jason,I will just keep working on her,and see if some one dose have some spare tracks,

Nice camo monica, good to see you building some armour!

[monica]

ta Aaron,so glad you like it as well,no to bad ,I must say for freehand,

[Guest]

That's some nice camo!


How hard was it to do the lower hull with all the wheels and suspension with an airbrush? It would seem like you would have to do it a few times at different angles to get the paint everywhere?


Thankfully out of the 3 colors for the camo im painting there's only the base and darkish color on the lower hull, seems the Chinese didn't bother with a full camo on the lower hull area, just a crude two tone effect which should make it easy for me hah.


Anyway keep it up, cant wait to see the finished product


[Edit] Every time i see peoples builds coming along i wanna get going on my ones again, forgetting that they aren't fully dry There must be something to do tho... after a smoke and coffee.

[monica]

ta Jason, so glad that you do like it,


yes your right I did not find it hard,but as you said need to come in from the side as well as the top to get it on,


I just do it so it looks coated from all side,and I do the whole thing in one sitting,lay down base coat,then add the


two other colors all at once it works for me,


maybe wrong but I,have seen on some German tanks and the likes,that they will only have the base coat on the lower hull,


Patrick is a good one for knowing these types of things,

Nice work there Monica it looks the business, don't worry about the overspray, its not much and it will blend nicely after a wash keep up the good work.


scott

[monica]

ta Scott,much appreciated,happy you like her,


I quite like the look with that small amount of over spray as well,

[monica]
