Hey,guys, im recently having trouble with my Tamiya Panther G late version. The tracks of the kit are very flexible and after attaching they dont look like the real thing, because they dont hang down over the drive sproket as on the box art. Any suggestions? in my other kits i use transparent sprues stuck deep in the hull, sticking out and keeping the tracks down. Other tracks are covered with Shurzen covers and some others are individually attached. What can i do to make these tracks look real?

you have several options here, although the Tamiya rubber band tracks are a bit tight


1: superglue the tracks to the top of the roadwheels in the right places

2: use clear plastic or wire to hold the tracks down on the road wheels

3: fit the kit schurzen to hide the tracks

4: buy a set of Tamiya Panther G indy links
