Danny Ransom AuthorStarted on the dreaded multi link tracks. So far so good, but the fine line between too much and not enough super glue is a tightrope..

Ade HillI found them comparatively very easy to build due to good engineering. However, the lengths were short (why is the perfect length almost always between two numbers of links?!) and I had to retroactively modify the position of the rollers on mine, so beware of that possibility.

Danny Ransom AuthorThey are suprisingly flexible, but feel quite delicate prior to adding to the Tank. There is a balance between using enough glue to hold them together not gumming up the moving parts. A small dab of Superglue has been working well so far

Ade HillTalking of PE guards, Danny, the light guards were a bit awkward. Not to fold – the jig works alright – but to glue in place. I carefully chiselled little grooves in the right places, only shallow, but just enough to add a bit more contact patch for the CA. It was worth the effort.

Danny Ransom AuthorHull details coming along. Scratching the groves for the PE was a big tip. A fullfilling evenings work
