I think I will go with the individual link track for this build...
What do you guy think a no brainier 
Those flexible tracks look just a tad loose there. I've successfully shortened 1/72 vinyl tracks by dipping them in boiling water but I couldn't say for certain whether it would work in this instance. It's also a bit of an imprecise science and easy to over-do resulting in tracks that are too tight (best to give the tracks very short dunks with lots of testing in between). If the indy links are OOTB and not too much of a drain on your patience then I'd guess they are your best option (if you try the shrinking process careful not to over do it or they will be your only option!!).
Anthony... very nice indeed!!
Cheers

Sal,
That build looks like it belongs in the EOD (End of Days) Campaign. It is just plain mean looking

Here is the build I'll be doing for the campaign. I saw this at my LHS and it reminded me of models I built as a kid. Not the most detailed but I'll have alot of fun building it.

Hey everyone
Ive decided to enter the Campaign with my first military kit that i will build. Im still waiting for it to arrive from the states so i can get going. Really looking forward to the challenge. Sure it will be a nice change from 1/24 scale trucks and 1/48 scale railroad dioramas.
Im sure I will be posting alot of questions. Pictures will posted as soon as i have the kit.
Regards
Wes

Anthony, the camo paint job looks great. With the washes and some dry brushing it will just come to life. Looking foward to your next update.

Assembly and priming are both done. The kit took much longer than expected due to lots of warped parts. There was alot of flash and seam lines (expected) but they cleaned up quite well. I left off the wheel/tires until after painting to seal the tires from the plastic so it doesn't melt. The clear lights/lens etc have been left off until complete. I am thinking of painting this in panzer grey instead of the usual DAK scheme.

@ Robert, nice looking clean build on that old kit what year is that thing from
@ Anthony, Jadgpanzer is looking great looking forward to seeing it finished
I have made a little progress busy with work this week
the Metal shell standing next to a 1/35 scale Dragon figure. It almost looks like a 500 gr. .50 cal bullet
Some of the rear PE work, yes those are my gluey fingerprints
And what it is looking like now lower hull complete minus the tracks, lower half of the crane is dry fit and I still have to figure out how to do the doors on the shell holders
but the spruces are getting less and less so I must be getting close to finishing the build

Sal, super looking PE work. I'm always amazed at how simple others make it look while I struggle with those small flimsy pieces.
Looking forward to further updates, especially once you get some paint on the model.

Hey guys! A couple months back I signed up for a strictly out of box campaign over on Aeroscale ( don't hate me for building planes, I was actually a 19K on M1A1s once upon a time...) and I've been waiting to see a campaign thread over on those forums. After not seeing anything I did a network search and found this thread. So, is this armor only or are us bird-bhoys welcome too?
