I have just completed my US WWII Sherman, except for the treads. I am considering buying a set of T-80 treads to finish it with. I have never done this before. Does every panel have to be assembled seperately, and if so, how difficult is this?

Do NOT buy the AFV sets . unlike their M60 series of track this one doesn't work and is a bit delicate.

Hi chuckster,
I agree totally with shiryon, don't buy the AFV set. I've done the M-60 set and they are a dream. When I got the T-80 set I was extremely disappointed, they were nothing like the M-60 set.
Regards,
Joe
