SPA Modeler

Mike, you should try a tracked AFV sometime... once you go track...

So over the past few days I have done a couple sessions of adding the center guide teeth to the track runs that I’ve built so far...

1st session...



2nd session...



More to come in a few days

Another session... more center guide teeth added, and a few short sections for the ends of the runs

jeez there's a lot of work in those tracks carlos - I'm sure they'll look good when done tbough!

You can say that again! I can only do so much of this track work in a single session...

Today I had a nice airbrush session in the morning before the day got too hot here. A nice coat of Tamiya Flat Black on the running gear





Tomorrow I can resume work on the guide teeth, and then work on installing the tracks after that...

Looks excellent! I hope to get some airbrushing in tomorrow too. Keep it coming Carlos!

Thanks Mark... it’s coming along slowly. Once the tracks are built and installed my pace will pick up...

Success!!!

In my morning session yesterday, I was able to get the tracks on!





Now if you notice the three darker links on the upper run, there’s reason for that. After completing the one side, it looked to me that there would not be enough links for the opposite side, and the spare links to be stowed on the turret side. So I went into my spares bin, found the remaining links from my old M26A1 build, and added them to the second side. I was partially correct in that once it was all done, there only would have been two links left for the spares on the turret. But that is not something that you want to discover in the middle or end of adding the indy link tracks.



Now the hardest part of this project is behind me...

That is some incredible work! Looks great.
