on all tamiya tanks I've built the tracks and wheels are set as if it's on a flat surface which does look odd as no floor anywhere is as flat as a snooker table so I was wondering what the easiest way was to alter tracks to look like they are going over rough terrain


Any advice is appreciated:smiling3:

You'd have to alter the suspension Alan! Cut off the bogie stubs & glue them according to how you want them perhaps?

Cheers Patrick I can see that working well on some as they have the whole wheel and suspension as seperate parts but I've got a couple that just have a peg and the rest is moalded to the hull but that's about the best way to do it I would think


Thanks again :smiling3:

No worries mate!


As you say, a lot depends on the model itself - and those with moveable suspension aren't always better - trying to glue the tracks to my Tiger was a real PITA coz the wheels can move up & down!
