Got the right side tracks built and installed so now both are on the vehicle. Because the suspension is a bit off-set the left side takes 61 track links and the right side takes 62. From the sides they seem to look good and have the proper track tension.
But when you look at them from the front, the set on the right side seem to be a bit slanted and canted outward at the bottom. I can push up against them and they straighten out, but won't stay that way. Perhaps when I attach the model to the groundwork it will straighten out since the pressure on the tracks will then be constant.
I know I need to fix that, especially if I am going to enter it into a show because that would be something that would take points off.
From the rear, both sets are OK. Perhaps it is just the positioning of the drive sprocket.
Now that the tracks are on, I will finish weathering and get the ramp put on, machine guns put together and installed, and add external stowage.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
James
