I started armor building recently (did mainly aircraft) and I avoided whatevery kit that had individual links. This actually doesnt look that bad thank you

I just got back to the hobby for the first time since I was a kid, and after finishing my first tank I really wondered what to do with it instead of playing with it like back in the day. I really like that shelf on the right, I think I will steal that idea. Thank you

The first and the best video about how to assemble the tracks. Normally, people don't let see how they assemble the tracks

Perfect timing John, I am doing a Buddy Build of a T-55 with Greg Reilly and Steve Mottram. I am just getting to the bit where I need to assemble the tracks and they are the individual links, which I have never done before, so your video could not have arrived at a better time. Many thanks for this help, it will save a lot of problems and a lot of swearing too!! I love these videos, they are so helpful and useful to so many many people. Keep up the great work John and many thanks once again for sharing your skills and knowledge with us on here. Have fun my friend, Joe

Brilliant instructions, John...many thanks!

I got myself this T-80BV from trumpeter that has workable tracks and this was my first time. Always wondered how people managed them… Thank you! It was really good advice!!!

Thank you so much for this video! This was super helpful, I’m very new to to the world of model kits but am very excited to get into them. I got my first kit three years ago but after starting it stopped the second I saw the tracks being individual links because I had no bloody idea what I was supposed to do. Found myself recently really wanting to get back into it and give my poor half built Hetzer some love. This video has been extremely helpful and has actually made it look like quite a bit of fun. I can’t wait to get stuck into it after I acquire some of that slow drying glue and finally complete my first model :D

You are a life saver. I was working on my Meng Jagdpanther. And got so frustrated by these links. Your methode is easy and it works like a charm. Thank you. And greetings form holland.

Thanks John! I was wondering how I was going to do my next kit. Now I know, thanks!

Great tips and advice, greatest banter, cheers John.

Great video. Love the down to earth narration.

Thank you very much for this video. The directions for the tank I am building are, at best, useless. I found your system easy to implement and follow.

Thank you John for showing us your method on doing the tracks like the idea with the masking tape i will use that the next time i do my tracks

Great tips John, I had no end of problems doing the tracks on aMeng T90 ...nearly reached for a hammer to smash the hell out of them. I enjoy your videos ,they make me laugh with your banter 👍

Perfect timing on this John. I have two kits coming up with individual tracks for a dio. Never done ind tracks before.

Hi John. Soooo glad I came across this video of yours. Did modelling when I was in my teens, now two weeks shy of my 60th, back to it. One kit I'm working on is the Hobbyboss Panzer 38t. First time I've EVER come across individual links. Me: 😱😱😱. After watching your video: 😁😁😁. Thank you from another mad Irishman. (Madder than you, because I live in England now).

Thank you! My first tank and was a bit intimidating when it came to the tracks.

Thankyou for the machine gun idea...knew I had been keeping them off used bottles for a reason

I use 2 pieces of L shaped aluminium back to back drill holes in each end and small bolts with a firm spring. Slide tracks in and u can pin them or glue them. Love your work and commentary keep up good work

Shazaaaam. You make it look easy! Got my first set of links and didn't have a clue about how to put them together. Super video, thank you very much for the lesson.

Thanks mate your really helped me out im building my first tank!

Great timing on the video John. I've got my first set of indy links to build. I've done link n length before but never the full run. Masking tape and a metal ruler it is ... cheers :)

Holy Feck!!!! Great video John.

Great method John, I'll give that a go thanks.

Nice one John keep doing what you doing sim

Great video, love the humer and will copy your method 👍

Thanks for the video.

Enjoyed the video very informative

very smart and helpful!! thanks!

Thanks John, I have just finished my first tank track, what a mess, my second track should now be better having watched your video, luv the odd feck! 😀

...thank you, sir! Very handy!...

Nice job John!!!!!

Awesome tip! Thank you very much! :-)

Thanks John. Started the Takon King Tiger about to do the tracks.

Thx for the tutorial. I will try it exactly on my next project.

brilliant thank you

And how do you paint the tracks? Now they're on the model?

Good video but I'd personally leave the tape on until I fit the track then remove it just to add a little more strength whilst it dries

Great video but a slight problem! I have an Airfix= ex-Academy= 1/35 panther g. The track are like a cross between plastic and rubber! Will this work please?!

Ok John TKS ill b trying it soon would painted plastic mess it up ! ? Anyway last night I checked out ( GD models ). And he was doing a full build tiger tank ! In parts ! Like. 18 ! Unreal the amount of detail he put into it ! But I didn't really like the camo color ! But all in all very nice ! Hats off to him . I think it took him like 6 months to build it ! Or so

thanks john

2:37 haha says it all 👍

Hey John how about using Tamiya brush glue the normal stuff ! ? Never done armor before but Christmas is around the corner ! ? Looking to tackle a Tiger or a Panther maybe both ! ? Lol

Did you attempt to join the first and last links? I didn't get the ending with just the tape. Tamiya's Extra Thin seems pretty slow to set. Have you used this product before? I appreciate your video as I was flummoxed by the individual inks and was avoiding vehicles which had them! Thank you.

Great video John! Anything helps. Tracks have to be the most tedious thing ever (except for the dentist chair. ) Unfortunately the Revell glue isn't available in the States. Any suggestions on what to use? Thanks!

Good tutorial, some editing would quicken the video

I think the Mad Irishman has "slipped a track"! Never heard so much fucking swearing in my fucking life... tabornacke. LOL Thanks John.

I'm doing them for my jagdpanther 2 just started 4 nloody sprues and 3 peice tracks! That single link is just pointless haha

The sprues on my FV215b (183) track links keep breaking off and making the tracks flimsy, what should i do?

Great vid . But I’d rather eat raw onions than go through this Hell

Hey John TKS u but I have the orange cap glue and brush

Too bad ur not showing workable tracks using pins, quite diff and more difficult

What's the thumbs down for?

its mm not cm :D

Sorry,but your Cam is not good and the Picture-Quality: help!

So annoying you constantly saying “OK”, and or “all right”…..🤮
