Thanks for the support chaps. I have successfully attached the tracks and now working on drooping them a little at the top. Pictures will follow in due course. Considering making a little base for it before I finish up.

Abandoned the base, I have run out of time and am going to be very busy with work for the next few months. I'll whip something up at a later date. In the meantime, the tracks were fitted:

A few touch ups were required. The super glue worked well, held the track ends together with tweezers until the glue went off. I tried to get sag at the top, but the glue threatened to destroy the track finishes in places that were going to be difficult to get at again, so I settled for the sag I had. I did try using some small bits of foam to jam between the hull and tracks. They worked but in photos they show up so that's no good. The tracks have since gone back to pretty much their original position. Lesson learned I suppose for a next time.


Completed thread to follow. Thanks for following the build, it's been really fun.
