  1. I have found a method that works with the tracks now. /media/tinymce_upload/8670870c743f1a583dd87fe6426314c5.png Place a small drop of CA glue just outside the inner track guide as shown. /media/tinymce_upload/11c6a4ae9fb3203195aa758f77a8acbb.png Place the track segment under a piece of black thread. /media/tinymce_upload/6e3192816bcfca62530d3ff681070530.png Maneuver the track piece into position and press the thred into the glue, Align with an end. Once dry, the track is still flexible and will allow you to roll it into position before final glueing.
  2. Thank you. The item shown as 1 is missing from the instructions in the box, along with fact that the track parts are glued! The assembly instructions just shows: (10) Right: 96 Links Left : 96 Links Then just shows the track being rolled around the wheels.. No glueing symbol, Nothing. Poor showing on the instructions.
  3. I have another question about the tracks. I have the early version tiger 1/35 operation citadel. The tracks are individual pieces and 96 parts are required per track. But the parts DO NOT clip together and I cannot get 96 piece to link up so that I can wrap it around the wheels. How are these individual parts joined together? There is nothing in the manual as to how to get these into a single long track to join around the wheels?
  4. I would guess whoever did the box art graphics didn't know there were metal components in the kit The wheels containing what you refer to as a sleeve should be glued together, but the sleeve (usually referred to as a poly cap) should not be glued and free to rotate inside the wheel assembly. The poly cap is an interference fit with the axle, press it on and the wheel assembly will rotate. The inner wheels don't need to be glued, the outer wheels will prevent them from coming off the axle and the track teeth keeps them aligned. Thank you! It turned out that the first set of wheels needing the poly insert, actually required the Poly S not Poly M! And fitted better by inserting the first wheel on the axial, then fitting the Poly M, then glueing the second wheel to the first!

  6. I have a few questions on the A1354 Early Version Citadel. First why does the box say Poly Cement is used but the instructions inside says "PE PHOTO ETCHED PART - USE INSTANT GLUE"? Also, on sections 2,3,5, there are parts that are displaying a do not glue marker? Which parts are glue and which are not? 2B for example shows 2 wheels with a small sleeve marked with 'do not glue square' but also a note POLY(M)?? Are there any video to help with this? Thanks
