Donald-- I am now almost caught up with you on the build. I am about to install the outer wheels with the main hull road wheels. I am having one of those senior moments. If you align the outer wheels with the inner set, can you then get the guide holes in the skirts to align? How did you attach the track?
Thanks again
DJ
Hi DJ
Check out Pic #13 & #14 from the beginning of this build.
You should press fit the wheel units into the hulls side and the corresponding units into the outer armor plate. don't glue yet.
After they are press fit in place line up the outside armor plate so the recesses in it match the boxes projecting from the hull starting with the sprocket and working your way forward. Be sure to match the inner and outer wheel sets up as you go. Don't forget to add the sprocket or you won't be able to get it in. After it is all lined up GLUE.
Hope this helps.
Donald
Oh yes, don't forget the return rollers.
Man I'm really getting old.
The track will just stretch over the whole assembly, the fit is pretty good, but if you want it snugger you could always remove a track shoe. I think it's fine as is.
