Great SBS on the track assembly Paul. Thanks Leon.....it was fun to do. One thing I found kinda odd was the size of the return rollers, they only go across half of the track links...I wonder if this allows the T-90 better cross country performance? Tojo...you're welcome  Hope it encourages other Meng T-90 builds...track assembly was very easy. The last tracks I assembled without glue were Tamiya's rubber banders, what a difference! Paul |

Another small update.... Tracks are done! Photos: Head on shot....a little washed out but at least you can see the tracks. So total number of track links was 80 for both sides, Meng says 81.  Side shot again kinda washed out but you can make out the nicely detailed tracks...  That's all fer now....next up will be the engine and compartment. Note the upper hull panel is not glued yet. Thanks for all the comments and interest! Cheers, Paul |

Man those tracks look like it's a lot of work..BUT, when they are workable it's worth the effort.

Hi Rob, Yea it was a lot of work but you only have to insert the pieces no glue required so that saves a potential mess.... nicely engineered pieces... Been running a little behind on this one lately but hopefully I can post an update by this week end. Thanks for looking in Rob! Paul |

WOW....this one's been on the back burner for so long, I lost the modelling mojo a few months ago but I hope to get more done soon. Other interests (like wargaming) took me away from this one...... I started a few months ago on the engine so that's where hopefully I can get some motivation to work on it.....sorry for the long break guys! I need to complete the engine construction and post some photos soon....! Thanks for your patience Paul |

No worries... you are not alone. It happened to me during the DUCK build that I had to stop and build something else TWICE. LOL
Glad you are still around... that's what counts.
