Hi All!
Somebody who has built a T-62 from Trumpy... did you notice that the tracks overhang the front fenders? Is there a way to fix it? (No, I do not want to discard the fenders )
If I cut the axis of the idler, the track will not run down straight.

Here is mine, even though it is not the same type of tracks, I guess it is not specifically due to the tracks themselves.

Hello,
I know it's not about the tracks. I tried the original Trumpy track, Masterclub and Friul. All are wrong, so I think:
- fender is not wide enough
- wheels are not positioned well

Same issue here with the Masterclub resin set.

Üdv,

I've just done a Google image search for "Trumpeter T-62" and found many builds that apparently show no problems with the tracks (kit tracks or AM ones)...

Here's one fitted with MasterClub tracks :

Just looked at my built Trump T-62 sitting on my shelf. The tracks are fine. Dare I say user error may be to blame?

Hello,
which T-62? OMSh or RMSh tracks?
It cannot be user error... there's nothing to screw up
Can you post a pic?

Just at the painting stage with my T62 BDD and my tracks are fine.
