Afternoon fellas! Finished up the build part this morning and ready for primer tomorrow.In case your wondering about the tracks,i desided to try and torture myself by assembling the 218 indy links.I did glue up 9 spare links.If i get frustrated i'll be ordering some Friuls along with a RB barrel and some schurzen.The kit barrel,MG,spare roadwheels and hull are just dry fit for pics.Hope you like the progress.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  005 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  006 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  007 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking! As always ACW.  |

Don't come around here with those negative thoughts Leon. One link at a time and before you know you're done. Tony lee  |

Not a lot of parts for being an older kit PJ! This has to be my fastest build yet. |

Admittedly I'm not a great fan of styrene indy links, but it could be worse Leon - the HB T-50 that recently arrived chez moi not only has indy links with four attachment points each, but also separate guide horns. So stop moaning and man up |

Received this from my good friend DeafPanzer on Monday! He suggested i replace the tracks and gun and i will look into those. Have'nt built any Dragon kits yet so this should be interesting.  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr looking forward to seeing how you get on with this, |

Afternoon guys! Finally got the tracks assembled after about 3 hours.The loose fitting sprockets and idlers made it a little difficult to shape the links without falling off.Hope you like them.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  005 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking!

Great work Leon!! Well done on getting them together, they look pretty good!!! And 'only' three hours!!  I reckon I do getting on for 20 PSC kits in that time!! When does the dunkelgelb start flying around? Or are you going for grey? |

Tracks are looking good Leon - 3 hours well spent! Have you tried blobs of Blu Tack to overcome the sloppy fit of the wheels?
