I am attempting to build a 1/48 Tam early Tiger I. The tracks are making me nuts. Nuttier than I was when I started this. Besides buying am tracks, is there any trick to assemblying the kit tracks? The directions stink and the illustrations aren't much better. All help is greatly appreciated. TIA-C.

When I built mine I glued together the A22 and A18 x 2 in step 4 and waited for them to dry. Then I put those on the wheels and built from there, around the idler first.

Yeah, that's what I figured on doing. What kind of glue are you using?
