Nearly finished a Dragon Stug IV Late (kit 7260) in 1/72. Very very pleased with the out come and I'll try and get some pics up later.

However, if anyone has built this little gem of a kit, did you find that the DS tracks are just that bit too long (maybe 3 or 4 links or so) to fit nicely around the road wheels? Or have a done something wrong?

I read somewhere that the extra length in the tracks is so you can get them to sag. However it doesn't tell you this in the instructions.

Thanks Jeff, that makes sense now you've said it!

As for those instructions: Talk about simplistic and somewhat confusing

Sim, the StuG IV tracks are too long, I used those out the Revell PzKpfw IV Ausf H.
