Only forty? Try a rubber-tyred Tiger next timeStarted with the 40 rubber clad road wheels (I've already done the steel ones). 4 sprue gates each and a mould line, this was going to take some time. I can't believe you armour guys do this regularly for fun![]()
Mind on zero, gaze on infinity (that’s Dutch a bicycle racer’s proverb). Or have music on while you do this on autopilotI enjoyed that so muchthat I did the individual track links too.
Ah, yes. Small(ish) wheels are always even more fun because of that. With the last Sherman I built, after trying to clean up just one wheel by hand, I took the rest to my father’s lathe and just turned a little bit off the tyres to get rid of the seam for exactly the same reason. Of course, these wheels had a hole for an exile through them, which made that much easier than with the ones on your kit.Yes, I did have Steve Wright on in the background. To be fair it wasn't the monotony but the cramp in my hands that made it literally a pain.
Best to make sure of this — you may actually have more to spare, or OTOH, might need more on the model than the instructions tell you. This is more likely to be the case with separate-link tracks, though.Checked through the instructions and I only seem to need 28 of the individual links anyway!
