Hi All,
I have just completed my first Dragon kit, a 1/35th JagdTiger, however I ran into one problem. When I started to put the track together it just wouldn't work. Pieces just kept falling off and I can't get them to bend around the wheels. I am not seeing the "magic" in these tracks. Can someone please tell me how to complete these tracks and how to install them before WW3 erupts in my basement.

Thanks,

Try them in short runs of 5 to 10 links per run.. Once you hit them with glue, let them sit a few minutes to firm up. Use just enough links to get them around the jigs for the front and rear sprokets.. Wrap them and then let them sit for 24 hours to dry.. I built mine this way and had no problems.. I used Testors liquid glue also with no issues.. Hope it helps...

HI, There are quite a few on this site that can do great things with the "Magic Tracks." But if I may offer a suggestion, just from a purely personal point of view, it would be Fruilmodel tracks. Once you've tried a set you'll move the "Magic Tracks" to the re-cycle bin.

Take care, Larry

I prefer to use the Testor's tube glue. It is very sticky yet dries slowly enough that you have ample time to virtually build an entire side of tracks and still have enough flex to bend it around spockets and idler wheels and provide for an appropriate amount of sag. Fruils are great if you want to spend (or can afford to spend) $40 on just a set of tracks

Thanks for the help, I'll try your advice, but if all else fails I'll look into Fruil tracks.
Thanks again
