OK, I got my Carl Morser. Love building it. Having problems attaching the individual tracks. So far, I am using string to help allign them. However, they are falling apart before I can finish. It's like a domino effect. Anybody know how to do this?
TIA

not sure exactly which kit u r talking about but i usually use strinn-g to get an exact length of the track thne i glue them together using a flat surface and a ruler to keep then straight then i paint and weather the tracks next run the the tracks along the return side or the top letting the tracks stick out equal distance on both front and rear then start wraping the track around the drive sproket and on to the lower road wheels and use ing tamiya liquid cement glue the track to the drive sproket and road wheels let sit a little then repeat for the idler wheel finally attach the tracks together lastly if you want track sag or if the tracks do not want to rest on the return wheels roll some paper up and insert between the hull and track set the model right side up if neede put some weight on it and let set till dry and cured then repeat other side hope this helps

Thanks, but I have finished all of the gluing. Just need to touch up some details. Oh, added an orange led in the barrell(ultra-realistic).
