It does mean you can set the wheel position to suit the tracks once they're on. peebeep

Stick to Airfix Spitfires,PB,they're a LOT less hassle. :lol: Actually i like the Tristar idea of separate Tyres as they are the one thing about Panzer IV's that drive me necking futs !! (Painting the b'stards !!) C'mon Pablo,you can do it,karma,now.. "Ohmmmm" Cheers Bazza.

Vince made me an offer I couldn't refuse, plus a bottle of Tamiya Extra Thin (thanks mate, I now understand why everybody says this stuff is the best thing since sliced bread and have been using it extensively on this build). peebeep

Something tangible at last: Everything about this build is slowed down by the complex engineering, but it is a blast to work on it. I got some paints from the new Hobbycraft branch in Chelmsford today, will have to start thinking about loading up the airbrush to paint the interior. peebeep

Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious Posts: 9,337 Group: Admin Member #2 Joined: July 8, 2009	Well it *did* get finished (of sorts) at 1.30 a.m. of the morning of the day in the hotel room. Yes the tracks were a bummer and the main reason I kept putting it off, but having done this one in for a penny, in for a pound... There's lots that could/should have been done with it but this tanky, tready stuff is a black art IMO. The kit itself is fantastic but the instructions deserve to be cut into pieces about 100x100mm and hung up on the wall of your bog. peebeep
