Sd.Kfz 7/1 Magic Trax ??????

[panzerace007]

Here I sit at th Bench Toiling away on these "Magic Trax" for th Sd.Kfz 7/1 Flak-vierling. Yes, They will be workable ... But there is Nothing "Magical" about having to clean up over 100 tracks from Ejector pin marks & some sightly seam lines ! UUURRGGH:evil:

Hey Guys,

Thanx for th kind words ...

CHEYENNE - There were a few ... Some started with Son-of-a and sometimes ended in 'er and described copulating with some ones Mother.:woohoo: Fortunately Griffon gives you extras on th Small bits .... I've had th occasional Tweezer Launch ....

MOONIE- Oh, she's a Gettin' done ! I've had to take a time out from th P.E. & build up th suspension, which I've articulated, but you can't really tell. Once I have th rolling Chassis then I can get back to th P.E. Madness !

*NOTE* - That Radiator ... The Slats up front are workable ! It will open & close , as well as the Rumble seat that is fully functional! It will fold Up & Down with the support legs folding out !

ANDY,KEN,&JAMES,

Thanx Guys for th head up on th Trax. After 4 hours of cleaning up ejector Pin marks & some unsightly seams , I ended up using a small dot of C.A. to secure th Track Pad to the Shoe & They are workable !! I wanted to do this for th simple fact ,as it would ease in Painting & attaching them to th 7/1 !

Thanx again for th Help !!

I would post some pix but I'm having trouble with Safari ... It locks up when I give th sight permission to access My computer ?? It just stalls out ? I would go through FireFox, but for some reason Firefox does not see my most recent uploads of Pix ??

I'll post pix later.
