I just picked up the M-3 and M3A3. They look like very nice kits. My question is, does any body know what is used to glue the tracks together? Regular Testors glue? I've never built any Mirage kits before.

If they are anything like in Mirage Grant, then they can be glued with cyanoacrylate very well. I dont think regular styrene glue will hold them.

Cheers

Above is a link to some pictures of the turret assembly that I started. The cool thing is the way the turret is folded into shape. So far so good.
More to follow.
