    The only thing you can say is that I had ago and it didn't fall off. The good news is I've got new glasses so this in the box and I can finish the Kangaroo at least I can finish it before Christmas.

      I'd love to have a go, but think it might be a little to much .

            Hi his is just my opinion and my first attempt at metal tracks but Fruil tracks are to time consuming I get the cleaning up part which I've done but drilling 1,344 holes for the wire is a joke, spent most of the day on them and only half finished on one side and have given upon them and are in the bin never again .
            Will stick to rubber band tracks.
            Pete.

                  Pete,
                  They can be a chore but the way I do it is to do a few at a time then set them aside and do something else. Dig them out they are worth it in the end.

                    Got all the parts in primer, when I paint this one in the new year I'm going to try some contrast painting between the wheels and lower hull with lighter wheels and darker lower hull.
                    Also use a slightly darker colour on the sides and lighter on the top surfaces.
                    This has become a test vehicle now.

                    Added a few more little details after the initial priming, drilled out the end of the mud guards support rods, tool clamps/brackets from copper wire and white card.

                    Test card, I still need to test more colours.

                      Pete, I've been following along and this is quite a bit more than just a test vehicle. I really think you have done a great job with the details and all the extra equipment you've added. If the glue stain on the roof bothers you, it's an ideal place for an Ariel recognition flag. Cheers, Rick H.

                            Hi Pete black and grey or brilliant, green and beige a bit wishy-washy really need two coats, I've used the grey as a base coat and know one noticed (they do now) would definitely recommend it to anyone.
