Doug, I didn't experience a problem with the tracks on my MR composite.
It seems to me that I found I came up a link or two short and had to
use an individual track link from another kit. I assumed, however, that
this problem was the result of how I had lined up the replacement
transmission cover. I think that you might run into the same problem
with the M4A4.
Man, it's nice to have electricity again!
(By the way, let me know if those digital pictures i sent to you were
okay - I have others to send when you're ready!)
