Hi!

I am in the process of putting together AFV Clubs T84E1 tracks for my M47. I cleaned all track links and put them together with the guide horns. Now I started to install the end connectors, but they do not stay on. They are so loose on the pins that they fall of by just moving the track length a little.

Any solutions ready or suggestions what I could do to keep them staying on, or maybe not going off so easy?

Thanks,
Thomas

You still have to glue them. The "workable" part is not really true. I use liquid glue to hold them together and it works fine. Just build them like any other set of indi-link tracks that you glue together. Good luck.

Yeah, that word 'Workable' got me too when I first started back to modeling. I wasn't looking for tracks for a motorized application but something better than vinyl and cheaper than metal.

They are a real treat to build though!

I guess I cheated.

Line the tracks up, mask everything except the connector pins, and then spray with a very quick pass of spray mount. The end connectors stay on and still work.

Good thinking! Where do you get that at?
