ok i just got my m274 mlrs in the mail toady and was wonderin if any of you have built one. seems i may have gotten in a little over my head with this one with the indvi track links. any tips you can pass my way on this type of tracks wll be very helpful. i am glad a got a few more to build before i attempt the undertaking of this monster.[:D][:D]
I’m not familiar with your tracks but I’ve done other vehicles. The last one was a 1/35 Tiger I. I glued up the tracks for one entire side…THEN with the wheels on the tank I put the tracks on and completed them. I DIDN’T glue them to the model. And the wheels weren’t glued either. I just used the wheels to shape my tracks and get that little dip that you see in Tiger tracks. This made it easier for me to paint everything then assemble it.
Sometimes you have no choice but to attach them and paint them on the tank though. But I imagine its roughly the same. You glue up one side then place them onto the wheels and shape them how you like. Painting will just be a little more difficult to get into the small tighter areas.
