BlackMax12 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Another new project, got to have 9 on the go at once after all. Looks good, a newer kit from 2019, Trumpeter 9578 I think. The tracks are indy link with add on guide horns, ugh. So far only 20 links assembled and there are 82 per side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 A little bit of progress today. One track done and not bad except for all of the guide horns, hate them. Lots of PE on those fenders and about 20 odd tiny pe grab irons that can wait until the rest of the lower hull is complete. I like those rubber flaps front and rear. They give you those in a sort of vinyl and a little ca does wonders. They will end up a sort of worn black I imagine. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 nice work, always been put off by these indi-link tracks, how are you finding them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thanks Rob Actually these tracks go together well and the individual guide horns fit perfectly. Glue a bunch of links together. add the guide horns and wrap them around the idler and sprocket before the glue dries completely. Then just fill in the missing links in the middle and voila, non working tracks that look good. Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Bad_Bill Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I've just finished their T-80BV - I really didn't like their individual track links - I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but as soon as I try a wash and dry brushing they fall apart. The kit looks very similar - the only issue I had was the fit on the exhaust. Once I had built the exhaust block it just didn't want to fit correctly without a lot of fettling.

BlackMax12 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thanks Bill So far so good, the tracks are behaving and the exhaust is in place. Didn't fit that well but it's there. The turret is pretty busy and that's next. Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Thanks neil The tracks are all assembled but got side tracked on some other projects. Will eventually get back to this one. Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
