I'm assmebling all the odds and ends well in advance of building this kit, was wondering if anyone has used the Skif-made separate track links? I purchased a set cheap (.99$), was wondering how easy they go together, the usual things?

I Do not have them, but I have only heard bad things about both them and the rubber bands in the kit. Only answer I have heard that is positive is theminiart tracks that are darn near impossible to find.

But go ahead and take a look at what you have and let us know what you think. Maybe the indi tracks are not that bad and we are all misinformed.

SKIF offers several versions of T-64, which one are you building?. I have T-64 A :



and T-64 BM-2 (the most difficult one) :



built by "Art Instructor". Now he's working on T-64 BW,
I'll show it later this month. He built them OOB, no special tracks needed.

The Skif individual track links aren't anything special being simply separate versions of the rubber band kit-ones. Was primarily wondering about how easily they go together as they appear somewhat fiddly.

I've purchased the T-64Bv though I'm thinking of building it up as a T-64B assuming I get Accurate Armor's conversion kit for Christmas.
