Here it is, refused to use indy tracks (hate them with a passion) so narrowed sprockets and fitted old Tammy T55 vinyl snakes.
The Isies used a lot of captured Russian junk over the years, so.....

Jim - your 50cal handles have wilted in the desert sun!

I was looking forward to seeing this finished but T55 tracks - oh dear.
Apart from that top half looks good

Totally Awesome Jim, Love the track conversion. And just the right amount of "sag"!
Cheers, Rick H.
Thanks Rick, some would beg to differ, but I tend to look at the artistic side of modelling and not so much the technocratic side.
Besides those damn tracks that came with the kit were...well, let's say..."party pooping?" to say the least.
"Sagging" vinyl tracks can be a pain but I'll take that any day over spending countless hours cleaning and assembling individual links.
