Bad news about the tracks John but I am sure the finished wreck will look the dogs. I have that model on my to get list but perhaps a rethink is in order.

Hi Andy. Thanks for looking in. The kit has , well parts of it have defeated me.
Those tracks were just too much for me, you might be able to manged them.

John, firstly cudos for sticking with it I'm sure you will lick it into shape. Tracks are why I do mostly wheeled now.

Aw that's a bummer John, sorry man... hey, there's always mud-in-a-jar to help hide it too.... I can visualize that tractor tearing through a muddy field. At any rate- awesome crafting with that wooden bed though !!

Hi John
Maybe the silver lining 'cause you're really good at modelling damage/wrecks.

Oops, just re-read that you had other gremlins what with the floorplan fit and all. Hm.

[Steve Jones]

That's quite the challenge you have there mate. Glad you will be able to salvage something from this project. Good luck with the rest of the build

JR, don't beat yourself up over a poorly designed kit.....it ain't worth it. I'm quite certain you will get it sorted in the end. Hang in there Buddy. :thumb2: Rick H.

It's ok Ron, realised some things I can't manage, so a wreak it will be.

At least I can do buildings !:smiling2:

Thanks Steve, the only way is forward. The challenge now will be to make it look realistic as battle damaged and parts recoverable.

To be fair Rick I think its more me, but buildings and dios are more my thing.

Thanks for the support all. Art least the mojo is still up there.

Why lets tracks bother me , just carry on and enjoy the next part.

Tried again this morning to see if holding the tracks at right angles and pushing down would work.Well on the odd one it did , they snapped into place, but others that were as clean just didn't want to play. So took the lenghts that did and stuck them on, followed by the cab and load bed. The joys of CA !



The bottom photo , above the broken track there will have to be a hit on the chassis destroying the track. Same to the front , with the blown off idler.

Thanks for looking in.

At least you've still got a plan John so all is not lost, I would've have thrown it at the wall or at least back in the box!

[Tim Marlow]

Keep plugging away at it John. It will come right in the end.

[adt70hk]

Sorry to hear of your track woes John. But I'm sure it will turn out well in the end.
