Great article Mr. Bob!!! I have an MLRS on which I will begin working on in a while, and I think your excellent article is going to help me with the one part of the kit that I think may be troublesome (other than fitting the pods in, which I've heard gripes about). The techniques you presented should help me, as well as my fellow modellers in conquering this sometimes daunting task.

I see this was first posted almost a year ago. Glad someone found it and pulled it forward. Who knows what other gems remain hidden in the archives. Has anyone done a step by step on those metal Fruiji (whatever) track links. I'ld like to do a comparison

looks straight forward enough I've always put kits off with the indi links as i've been unsure
how to build/paint them oly thing I'm worried bout is the oil wash with the thinning agent be too strong as I've heard some horror stories bour the wash dissoving the glue and trashing the tracks, I've used humbrol rust and black acyrlics with some success for track washes but would prefer to use enamels any tips?
but good nice easy to follow article thats why I love this site!

a very clear, concise article thanks bob! I know it will be refered to bymeslef many times as i embark upon my first track kit for my armour for the latest campaign.
thanks again!
