Hi all. Just a quick question about Trumpeter's 1/35 E-25. I've read a review of this kit on the net and the author said that the vynil tracks were glueable. I know the kit comes with a set of plastic individual link tracks which are glueable, but are the vynil tracks glueable as well?
The review in question is here:

I'm still not convinced mate. I've always thought that vynil tracks had to be melted together. I'll find out after i buy the kit anyway.
Thanks for the input Gary

Nice going, if you ask a question here and you simple disregard a truthful answer, than why even bother?
Tamiya's Tiger and Panther kits and variants also come with vinyl tracks that can be glued.
So why are you so stubbornly refusing to believe that the Trumpeter E-25 vinyl tracks can be glued the same way? It's a different type of vinyl than that from the 70's/80's when you had to heat-weld them together.

Okay, okay, jees, dont bite my head off mate!! I have only just started building armor kits and i was really skeptical about it, thats all. I wasn't disregarding Gary's answer, i was just not totally convinced because of the number of kits out there with the tracks you have to melt together. Sorry Gary if i put you down or anything. I didnt mean to. You've helped me out a lot in my previous posts and i'm greatful for your input.
