Any chance you might post a pic of this in progress?
My first DML I finished in less than a week while on vacation, the Ferdinand, and had a nightmare of a time working with the Dragon Tracks, but after an hour or two of struggling with them, I finally got both of them on. I started by gluing two complete runs, letting them dry for a day, then primed and painted them. I then waited another day and tried to wrap them around the road wheels and sprockets. The treads broke in four seperate instances, in three different places. I had to glue, reglue, and re-re-glue the tracks several times before I finally got them to stay in one place. There is no 'real' sag to speak of, and you can definately see where the break in the tread is on one side.
I'm now working on my second DML kit, the King Tiger w/ Henschel Turret and Zimmermit Coating. I've essentially repeated what I did last time, hoping I might have done something wrong with actually putting the treads on the body, but after reading this, it seems I was assembling the treads incorrectly the entire time. |
