I will have to look in my stash, and see if any other AFV models have track link sprue layouts that could the use the same technique - I bet not many!

Boring! Some good music on & no interruptions!
Next, probably even boring - the assembly of the tracks. I can't assemble them my normal way, as they don't have a useful guide rib. I'm going to have to try several ways, to see which is least fiddly......................
Dave
I have both this and the one with the 20mm gun...yes the tracks are very delicate...the road wheels are another horror.I vaguely remembered seeing one in the stash somewhere - after a bit of mining & exploring - I found this.......

No figures, and the vehicle body has been assembled - I'm guessing it was part of an ebay auction, that I looked in the box & consigned to the unvisited region of my stash!! It has some of the worst rubber/vinyl tracks that I have seen for some time

John,Wow impressed by the build and now the tracks, very neat idea Dave.
Do you prime the PE before painting ever ?
I give the PE a brush with IPA
Dave what is that in betwixt the air tanks ?Just the bottom runs to do - everything quite easy!
