Coming along nicely Leon! White glue should do the trick. You can also use small blobs of blue-tack poster putty if the contact point is strong enough for that.

Thank you Bill! I think blue tack is the way to go.No fuss,no mess and easy removal.  |

Afternoon fellas,just finished up the last track runs and they are looking really good.Had fun building them and learned a lesson in the process for the next time. "DO NOT ASSEMBLE HULLS TOGETHER BEFORE BUILDING TRACKS"  Hope you like.   I'll glue in the last link when everything is painted and ready for assembly.  Thanks for looking,as always ACW. |

Looking good Leon! Yes, trying to fit indy links with mudguards/fenders in place can be the offspring of an unmarried couple May I ask how you dealt with the return-rollers? |

Thank you Dierk! Most of the retrun rollers were a slight press fit and a few are held in place with blue tack. |

Nice progress on the tracks Leon and glad the lesson you learned wasn't too painful...just enough to remember, not too much to cause permanent harm! |

Major milestone cleared! Now you get to have some fun with the AB. Just remember... don't look at the tip when depressing the trigger... |
