What a good looking build Carlos! All the added detailing and weathering all added up to make this one come together well. Being that I'm not a hard core armor guy, what are these Indy tracks that I keep hearing about?

Thanks again Joe. Indy link tracks are just that, independent links that come in one of two form, workable or non workable. In either case, you assemble enough links together to get a full run of tracks for each side. In this case, I used some gluable non workable tracks. The most popular of the type are the metal workable tracks by Fruil Model. Those have to be assembled together with a metal pin to work, just like the real ones. 🤨

Great looking build Stik. The tracks do have that "heavy" look

Thanks TJ. Personally i prefer link and length tracks, as I’m not one to articulate the suspension and have the road wheels all up & down as when they’re on rough terrain. But with Link and length tracks or individual tracks, it’s much easier to get proper sag on dead tracks compared to one piece soft tracks.
