May 16, 2021I'm leaving the 'fenders' off until I get the tracks on just in case I have any problems.21
June 21, 2021Finally finished putting the tracks together. Not used to assembling tracks that have three pieces each so I did manage to screw up a few times. Now I know why those pre-assembled metal tracks on EBay are so popular!22
June 21, 2021Since a couple of track links ran afoul of errant glue only one side will actually be 'workable'. That is OK though, since I wasn't planning on playing with this tank with my grandson anyway! ;-D23

August 24, 2021Finally got some real paint on the hull!29
