I’m not sure, but I think the LWS used Pz.Kpfz. II tracks, so that would tally.Those tracks looks identical to the ones I used on my Pz II I used for the SimonT tribute build - they were handed too
Only in so far as I built the two lengths of six links each you can see in the green box, and that was four years agoI don't know if you've used them before
Thanks for the warning, I'll have to keep that in mind when I put them on. The lengths of six seem sturdy enough, but who knows how a full track will behave? There is also a build article about this kit in Military Modelling Vol. 39 No. 12, 16 October 2009, and the builder in that says that the links are prone to breaking, which hasn’t happened to me but it’s another thing to pay attention to when I get round to assembling the tracks.The problem I ran into was when it came to putting them on the vehicle. because of the nature of the fixing points - the pins are quite short and the receiving hollows equally shallow to match - as soon as you put them under any tension, they pulled apart very easily.
On reading back the thread, I notice I hadn’t posted a picture of what I did after assembling that bit with the three walls, which was that I painted the floor, and built the chimney, seats and dashboard. That’s about it for the progress made before the kit went back into its boxDon’t remember this at all Jakko. Looks like you made good progress before shelving it though.
