Thanks GMK

Just following the conversion instructions with bump stops😀 I did say 67/68 in the thread title but I have mixed and matched a bit with various mods I have seen photos of.

Thanks everybody for the likes👍

I think that’s about it for the model itself now on to some figures to go with it 😀

Oh dear🤔

After a couple of hours trying to sort these Masterclub tracks I have admitted defeat😟they are SO fragile.

I really can’t say these are any good at all after having no trouble with my 432 tracks these are a massive disappointment!

Update DO NOT buy these tracks for the Academy kit they don’t fit the drive sprockets😡

cheers

Ivan,

 

Ive used Masterclub tracks on 3 x 432's found them excellent. But recently build a Scimitar and Scorpion and used their tracks. The pins were so small, skinny & fiddly and lost lots of them around the room. Also they didn't stay in the track link so in the end a little superglue on top of each sorted it out. I will still use Masterclub as I think they look brilliant when eventually fitted, especially if they have individual rubber pads which make the pop brilliantly.

Ha Ha! you love it really 😂🤣


 

Hi David,
After getting my head around them they did go together quite well👍
The issue with them on a 113 build is they are actually made for the AFV kit! To get them to fit you have to widen the drive sprockets and do a bit of filling on the teeth. Still all’s well that ends well 😀

I thought the name "Tears" was on a fire support M113 with the Saladin turret.

 

There was 1 unit's 3 fire support vehicles were named "Blood" "Sweat" & "Tears"

No idea Niall!  Just took what was on offer with the kit decals,actually the kit ones did specify 31A but that had a turret so I cut it down to 31 for the troop cmd’s vehicle and not a section wagon.😀
