Funny story to this one my dad could not build the Tiger he got mad at the tracks really mad and gave it to me could not build them. It was already built and painted so all I had to do was add the tools fix the tracks and weather here is how it turned out.

I also used Tamiya's weathering set on the tracks and parts of the tank. I like 1/35 armor but I can see building more 1/48 very soon Happy I saved the kitty.

Compared to what, I wonder? The ones on my Tamiya StuG IIIB went on almost without builder intervention.

I think what happend he painted the tracks first on the tree then tried to glue them which made a mess. What I would have done was build the tracks in runs then paint and put on later. He did build the Sherman easy with no trouble with the tracks
