Great video, thanks! Looks so easy when you doing this, but I know it's not. I've never had this kind of tracks (so far only assembled Tamiya's models with a complete track made like a rubber band). And had some really bad experience with Meng's track (must be built without cement, from separate links and pins - immediately fell apart). Now I want to build Tamiya'sTiger I and it has a track from separate links like you have in this video. I'm not sure I want to try this :(
Hi! Thank you! The single link tracks like this one could seem difficult (and boring!) to assembly, but trust me, they are not! Yes, you'll spend most of the time (a couple of hours, maybe) in cleaning the links, but the rest of the job, assembling the links and putting the track in place, doesn't take too long. Just pre-assemble the links in smaller sections, i.e. 10 elements each (first the ones that will remain straight, because they will be a little more difficult to bend as the cement dries), when they're finished, put the pieces together... et voilà! ;-)
Hi! They are two simple aluminium bars I found at home, nothing special! :-) And I painted the tracks separately from the rest of the tank (they keep their shape once the cement is set, so you don't have to bother about), putting them in place only before the weathering phase! Bye!
Thanks for this Vincenzo its good to know i don't have to do a single track line into 2-3 pieces now i can finally do my T-62 without breaking the track thanks again :)
Thank you Bill! I'm glad you liked it! :-) If I can give you an advice, however, you don't need to duplicate the sag of the tracks of a modern (or an American WW2) tank, they have to be kept well tightened to reduce the wear of the link pivots! :-) Bye!
