In preparation for the Schwerer Gustav diorama I've ticked a few more items off the list.

2 sets of HobbyBoss German Railway Curved Track 82910
[ATTACH]291405[/ATTACH]


TheHobby Boss Dora kit came with a dual straight track but in reality they always used curved tracks because that was the only way they could aim the gun and I want to reflect that fact in my diorama.

I've got the same kit of the Dora and I also bought the same set of curved tracks for the same reason as you did Jens but -

I expect you've already thought of this, but won't the radius of one of the track sets need to be changed?

well as you know i do like my zombies,and buying them can get very costly,:tired:
but found these one,s which will work for me,there meant to be 2inch,but a bit shy of that,one good thing is
there a hard plastic,so can be reworked,and easier to paint ,
12 for $7.oo is good as well,:thumb2:

I haven't received mine yet so I can't check but I was hoping to find two "sweet-spots" where it would work, otherwise I'll have to make a jig and bring out the hot air gun and reshape one of the bends...
I hope I don't have to because it might distort some details but I will cover the tracks with fine sand so I can cover some minor stuff.

If this fails I'm sure I can fabricobble scratch built tracks but it'll add more than a few hours to the already a bit scary build, but if that's what it takes then that's what it takes!

Whoever gets there first will have to write about it!!!

Being scandihuligan means the red guy comes a day earlier than for you Brits and he'd put this under my tree!

J 35 Draken is my favourite modern Swedish plane so I was very pleased!
I've wanted to buy this kit for a while so it was great timing!

Merry Christmas to all of you!
