Hi guys,
I have a 1/72 DML M1A1 kit and the directions are a little lacking. I have a question on the tracks; are they suppose to be glued? they dont seem to be connected any other way but the directions do not say anything about them. Thank you for any assistance
Sincerely,
Brian

Yes, you need to super glue the tracks together then place them on the suspension.

Hi Sabot,
Thank you for the help. I have not built 1/72 armor before. I was puzzled about the lack of instructions. I thought a long time back I heard something about glueable tracks I guess these were it.
Thanks again

They are not gluable (unless they are tan). So you have to use CA or an other brand of super glue.

I too am working on the DML tracks and I would suggest taking a small gauge wire and tying the two ends together as well. I didn't want to have the tracks popping apart with no way to put them back together.
