discussion Tamiya tanks , altering tracks ?

[Alan 45]

on all tamiya tanks I've built the tracks and wheels are set as if it's on a flat surface which does look odd as no floor anywhere is as flat as a snooker table so I was wondering what the easiest way was to alter tracks to look like they are going over rough terrain


Any advice is appreciated

You'd have to alter the suspension Alan! Cut off the bogie stubs & glue them according to how you want them perhaps?

Cheers Patrick I can see that working well on some as they have the whole wheel and suspension as seperate parts but I've got a couple that just have a peg and the rest is moalded to the hull but that's about the best way to do it I would think


Thanks again

No worries mate!


As you say, a lot depends on the model itself - and those with moveable suspension aren't always better - trying to glue the tracks to my Tiger was a real PITA coz the wheels can move up & down!
