    I'm just about finished with the tracks on the left side of that M-46.So far,the separate links aren't a problem.They fit together quite nicely.But I hate the track teeth.What a pain in the ass!Cutting them from the sprue,trimming and installing them is incredibly tedious.This is unnecessary detail.What madman designed this kit?Oh well,back to it.

    Have you tried Trakpax ? They offer the same detail, perhaps even better, than the separate links you get with most kits. But they come in lenghts instead, and are much easier to work with.

    Thanks for the link.I got the job done and really enjoyed it.Primarily because all the parts fit like they were supposed to.Very little trimming to do.It was satisfying seeing those links eventually wrap around the wheels.Dragon makes a damn good kit.
