      Hi Bob, it does look like it needs the extra link to fill the gap at the front on the bottom run, it depends on how slack or tight stug tracks should be. Maybe fit it in the bottom track run by the rearmost road wheel, to give it a bit of curve round the wheel looking at the picture.

        Morning Graeme

        I agree, but with the extra and its in the plans link it looks to loose. There is not enough moulded sag in the top run. Will have another look

          Can you tighten the tracks by rotating the idler wheel or is it glued now??

            Hi Steve, its held on by bluetac

            Major problem is the lack of long enough rods on the drive sprocket and return rollars, had to glue the drive sprocket and it also has a small noddy on the back to locate it on the drive hub.

              Made a bit more progress, added superstructure, but the fit of the casemate was a pain. Had to clamp and glue each corner, otherwise either the front did not fit or the rear. On a good note it has the correct fender support brackets, yippee.

              Was hoping to do more but had a health scare which put me in bed!
