Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 Moving onward on to the tracks. The kit provides myriads of tiny parts to make working tracks. There are four parts for each link. While not outside my capabilities to build that, it is certainly outside the limits of my patience. Accurate Armour to the rescue! AA produce a range of resin trackpaks. These are simply resin lengths or track which can be cut and bent to provide the tracks. This is a far easier and quicker option. The lengths must be immersed in hot water until the resin softens. They can then be bent into shape and then set by immersing them in cold water. Any mismatches can be hidden under the sand shields... Now we come to a problem. I have mislaid the decal sheet. The 7 RTR insignia will be easy to replace. I don't have anything that will suit the vehicle turret insignia. However, I will likely just leave that off and complete the model without them. The decal sheet is bound to turn up the second I finish the model and so it will be an easy matter to apply them later. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Enzo, I have them spare from my kit. Happy to send them to you where ever you may be if it suits and if the timing works. By the way, this is punishment for making the tracks look too easy. 😜 Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Fantastic job Enzo, those decals will 100% turn up once you finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 After that it was just a case of adding details (of which there were a lot), weathering and adding enough stowage to sink a battleship. Big ship! And we're done! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, bear in mind that the kit version with a full (and I mean full) interior is only 12 quid more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
