Braille scale not starter kit. Nice one Paul

wrong group build

I know, it was just a gentle leg pull.

Incidentally, I tried my darndest to get the King Tiger starter set, but neither of the Aldi stores around here had it.

Nice detail Paul and a low parts count build should go fast so you can pay more attention to detailing

 

[Mini Me]

Paul, are you using the vinyl tracks or will you be adding after market links?
Cheers, Rick H.

Cheers, Rick H.

do they even do after market tracks in braille scale???????

and i shall be using whats in the box anyway

 

[Mini Me]

They do in 1/87. I assumed That PE track would be available in 1/72 or 76 scale. Sorry for the confusion.
