Thank you! Dad ordered these!

These are what we got:

I think you will be pleased Mason with the results. Check to see if the tracks are handed, if they are do not mix the contents of the bags. To cut your wires to the required length drill a hole into a piece of scrap wood the same depth as the required length, and the insert the wire and cut. This way you can cut all of your wires quickly and accurately.

Hey Mason,

You may want to be careful in assembling the ATL-4. Recently I've done a lot of them on several of my Panzer III and IV and the track holes did not line up right and a lot of clean up. One side of the tracks was slightly bent so i have to bend them back streight. Also the sprockets will be a tight fit. Good luck.

A method that works for me is to cut a section of wire about a foot long. Straighten it out by rolling it across a flat surface under a flat metal ruler.

I then stick the wire into the links and simply cut it to length using a pair of ordinary finger nail clippers (which are great miniature flush-cut nippers).

Using a longer piece of wire gives you some more leverage to push the wire into the track link holes and cutting it in-situ is faster than trying to cut individual track link pins. The precise length doesn't matter as long as the little bit showing at the end is the same for each link.

Finally, the Fruils are great lookng, but don't be tempted to allow more track sag than is realistic. There's a fine line between what is correct and plausible and what is over exagerated and unrealistic. IMO too many modelers tend to the latter because the Fruils are so cool!

HTH,
