That's correct, Bronco (and Trumpeter too to a degree) have introduced workable tracks that are their own design and molds. They look like MK's because of the brown styrene and separate pin approach but MK isn't involved in their production.

But jackwagon sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't. Monday Sitrep: Tracks assembled and more transporter parts installed.     The wheels have been put on sticks and ready for paint in the morning.  Great day had by all. You did have a great day didn't you? Tony lee  |

Guys I know you know better and I know better myself but I didn't see the trees because the forest blocked my view.  I fixed it after looking at todays pics and a heads up from another forum but since my most trusted forum brothers didn't notice i'll give you some more time to spot my error. Remember it's a PZIV, i'll be waiting Tony lee |

Ok, I give up...what's the error? Can't see anything except some very nice paint work there Tony...and my god, that gun is huge! Going to have lots of fun detailing and weathering this bad boy I can tell. |

Boys ain't that a killer gun? Heck I thought it looks boss just in gray plastic but now that the paint brought out the details better i'm beside myself,Hot Damn. OK here's a hint for my screw up: Compare the before and after paint head on front photos. It's a good thing i'm frugal with the glue. And another thing I forgot to sand out the glue marks on the front of that console but i'll take care of that when I paint the casement walls. This build has got my blood stirred up big time  Thanks All for the excitement. Tony lee |

I think I found the error, the open viewpoert was upside down before paint. The paint job is awesome, you're really speeding on this one |

Post by tonylee-Rest In Peace on Jun 12, 2013 8:21:53 GMT -5
You got it Bull,the visor. The visor is a little too wide for the view port and I guess before the glue set up I must have pushed it down while handling the chassis and never noticed it.  Glad you like the painting process Tony lee |

It's a complete stunner Tony, man that's a huge model, do you know how many parts it contains ? The paint work makes it even more impressive.
Killer project !
