I'm building my first Dragon 72nd kit. Does anyone have experience with these DS tracks, what type of glue works best?

thanks,
Frank

All I can say is that they're actually really "fragile", I tried montana color (stupid test !) on them...... they melted !
So be carefull with the glue you'll use !

Normal model glue will work excellently. I wouldn't use anything else on these. Seriously.

Frank,
I'm also building my first Dragon 1/72 scale kit and had similar concerns regarding the DS tracks. Actually, the SdKfz 251 tracks I'm working with are even more petite than those found on full-tracked vehicles ... so I was even more wary! I used a very minute amount of Tamiya Extra-Thin Cement and the tracks melded together perfectly! Also, the tracks wrapped around the sprockets and dropped onto the running gear easily with a small application of super-thin ACC. I was very pleased with the results and won't hesitate to use DS tracks again!
