Nice work Bob! Really looks great.

What a bust!
Been off since the 13th of July and hardly got any bench time in but the house is in tip top shape! :dude

I did get some time today.

PRIMER!!! Still missing idler and drive gear, need the tracks installed to get them aligned correctly.

I'm liking these tracks. I cut the brass rod short for support and use the resin pins more or less for cosmetics. I dip them in some thick CA and they are holding well.

Back to the grindstone tomorrow!

Shaping up nicely and a great approach for dealing with the resain track pin, I'll have to keep that in mind.

Looking good Bob . I find the track pin solution very crafty .

Not sure what to think about the good old boy thing .

I have painfully become painfully aware that just because they found tool belts at Lowes ,they are often no more than that . Only good good old boys .

Just saying. :facepalm

Cheers, Christian B)

Master Club tracks don't fit the drive sprocket.

Do you have the correct tracks> I cant reach my refs at the moment but If I remember they where 36cm and then changed to 38cm. So depending on the tracks you got you maybe too short or too long. Do you have a pic? I think Master Club makes 21 different types of Pz III/IV track.

Well obviously not...

I'll try to find the box.
There's another thing. There's two bags of pins and I didn't realize there two types, one with a round head and other with a cotter pin, I should have been alternating, I didn't. That wasn't not a show stopper.

 

[JSteinman]

Kit tracks are okay, why replace? Round head goes inboard, cotter pin outboard.

Why did I get all this PE for it, I'm stupid... :gogo :gogo

 

[moon puppy]

MasterClub MTL35009 is the one I have.

I pulled sprockets from 2 other PIV kits I have, one tristar, all no go.

Clip a few teeth, save them, fit the track, glue clipped teeth into track openings.
