RGL Posted April 4, 2023 Author #100 Posted April 4, 2023 Base coat of olive drab which was the US colour used for the Holts. I will now do about 3 graduating lighter shades then add a filter. My plan is to add the tracks before I add any more glue as apparently they are a nightmare to attach. they did 10,000 of these tractor for ww1!

CDW Posted April 8, 2023 #103 Posted April 8, 2023 Did the kit advise how many links were required per side to fit the sprockets and wheels? I lay all the links down on a flat surface using a straight edge to keep alignment, then glue each link together with Tamiya thin cement. Before the cement completely sets and is still soft, shape the track links around each side then reapply cement if/as necessary to each link. It's a real pain in the **** for sure. mtaylor, Edwardkenway, FriedClams and 4 others 7 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

RGL Posted April 8, 2023 Author #105 Posted April 8, 2023 They do not fit well nor strongly. It came down to glueing them on piecemeal. I ended up with 2 spare links. Once I get some decals down it should accelerate nicely CDW, Canute, Egilman and 5 others 8 Quote Greg

RGL Posted April 9, 2023 Author #111 Posted April 9, 2023 So when I sanded down 50% of the interior of the tracked I stuffed up and added wrong tracks to each kit, and @Egilman pointed this out to me (I hadn’t noticed as I was probably a bit focused on the weathering), so I’ve been at work all afternoon and just got home after midnight and pulled them off and swapped them. 30 minutes of weathering the tracks tomorrow and I’m back on track. (He’s know, I’d know and it would just burn me up for stuffing it up. Thanks young man for saving me. Imagine if it was after I’d finished!!!

Toolmaker Posted April 9, 2023 #112 Posted April 9, 2023 Very nice work sir. To build a realistic level of weathering takes numerous layers requiring patience and control. You have bucketfuls of both. Fab work. Thanks Paul Old Collingwood, Jack12477, Canute and 7 others 9 1 Quote
