Hi all!
I´m current building a Tamiya Tiger I (unffortunatelly the old mold), and I decided to change the vinyl tracks by the Academy link by link ones...but when I start to build the front gear wheel the guide teeth are not aligned, my references show it should be aligned, but I´m not sure, anybody could help me? And if anybody else know more improvements for this particular kit I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks on advance!
Cheers

old version generally aligns only with kit track since it was a battery operated model you may need to scrounge a set of front idlers for a better fit with the academy links

First of all, thanks for replying.
I was afraid about that, so I´m willing to scratchbuilt a new idler, but I have to know if the teeth are aligned.
Cheers
