Some time ago I promised some additional photos of my Bradley, which would show the allignment of tracks. Today I took two photos using 300mm zoom lens (working practically as 480 mm lens with my digital camera). As you can see on the first of them the misallignment of tracks on the front of the vehicle is almost negligible. It looks a bit worse on the back were right track is noticeably canted. Oh well...

Okay. For your punishment - you must finish your M151 MUTT in half the time it would normally take you!

Dont feel bad, I cant seem to get my Abrams tracks to settle correctly and there is a cant on mine as well. Still, the detail and quality of the build overshadow any problems your might have in the tracks. Great build.

Awesome, much better, there is only slight detectable trace of the right tracks cantered inwards from the front shot pic, and the right side tracks canter slightly outwards from the rear shot one. Very nice!
An awesome model, as I said.
