Thanks Harry, they looked a lot harder to do when I first saw the tracks, but you made it look very easy indeed, Many thanks mate.

Fit seems to be perfect, Harry! Very useful video, especially for lazy modelers like me. I like these tracks. They look much better than the bloody vinyl things and they're less work than indy links! :)

+Non-Prolific 1/35th Scale Model Builder That's the Academy Hetzer.. is a dream to build and those have to be the best Link & Length I have ever put together. I enjoyed it so much I will do another down the track.

How do you recommend doing this if you want to take the tracks off to paint them?

@HarryHoudiniModels 8 жыл бұрын

Probably did not explain that in this cut down "how I do". In the longer build videos I show how my wheels are only dry fitted or tack glued with PVA wood white glue, so they can be easily removed once the track links have cemented into their shape. You can also leave a bottom link un-glued so the tracks will come off after cement sets, however I find the shape doesnt always set exacly using that method and it can be hard to get the links back on after painting. I never have a problem removing the fully cemented links if the wheels all pull off.

if you glue it like that, how can you remove it to paint it later ?

There are 2 methods. You can leave 1 link under a road wheel not glued but just clicked together and still get the sag positioned, then easily take the links off once cemented fully. But my method is to only white glue on my wheels, or at least sprockets... so they can click off when you remove the sagged track links.. I show this in the longer videos of any of my armour builds.
