Tracks

The good, the bad, and the ugly

The good: The system to attach the guide horns works. I recommend to glue them right after opening the box 🙂

The bad: There will be some out of alignement

The ugly: I don`t know why, but the links get unmoveable very fast. Glue only 10 at max ( forget the template---> you won`t get the idler on with all the road wheels in the way anyway)
Keep some links without guide horns for the drive sprockets ( like Dragon Panthers with Magic Tracks) ( every second one should be ok) Otherwise it is yery hard to put the links around.

Additional notes:

The turret hat neither Pilze nor the opening for the Nahverteidigungswaffe, which makes it actually quite early.

Biggest blooper: Takom forgot to add zimmerit on the turret front plate, allthough the part is on the sprue with all the zimmerited parts.
