While trying to assemble the tracks of my Esci SdKfz. 250 (they donīt have teeth modeld on, so itīs a bit tricky) I got an idea how to keep braille scale tracks flexible (and thus easier to handle):

Well I hope thats something new and helpful to you. It`s not really less work than assembling the tracks the standard way, but itīs clean (you donīt have to mess with tons of glue anymore) and itīs great if you -for example- want sagging or brocken tracks on kocked out tanks.

Great idea... I may try this.

I have that kit (released by Italeri) full built and painted except for the tracks. I had so many promplems with it I just threw it in the corner (okay, put it in a box), and let it rest two months ago.

My biggest promblem is that they cannot be glued with CA glue. What kind of glue did work for you?
