Tim, I do believe they will get a replen by then  .
Thought they might, but you can never be sure. After all said and done, you might get a drought\water shortage and what then?

Boots, shut up  Tim, I ferkin hope not mate  Okay, firts off I tried to glue a Dragon link into the Minor tracks so they fit the 10/5  , they wouldn't have it  . So then I chopped off two links and joined them at the sprocket of the 250  , this works   I'll now use the Dragon tracks on the 10/5, which should look just as good as the Minor ones were supposed too  |

Tracks do look good now. You can use the two links as spares hanging off the side of the 'track, or have them laying on the trailer bed...

Boots, not only you mushty Pete, cheers mate  . Duke, thanks also buddy . As for using the removed links as spares, well no chance. These 3D printed tracks are very robust, so long as they stay together. But if you try and separate them, they bust up into small pieces. The plastic is just too brittle for prying apart . Anyway today I moved on a tad with some Dragon on vehicle tools . Some had nice clamps others didn't. So out came the spares box with PE bitz and off we went looking for tool clamps. I found enough of the buggers, and I must say that life is too short to play around with these pesky little buggers . I got a couple together and they probably wrong but I don't care  . [  More tomorrow hopefully, after the show in Lingen. Just depends on how hard the midday beers lunch goes |

Excellent Paul. That's another reason I like building the small scale: No real need for tool clamps. I know some guys who do add them in my scale though... Not for me.
As for the pre-printed tracks, if they are bendable; they'd make great cargo on some truck or trailer.

Many thanks fellas, I'm still battling with sodding tracks for the Sd.Kfz 10/5. The Dragon ones from the 250 are 4 links too short, stingy bar stewards. Usually Dragon drops a shed load of spares in there, but not this time . Anyway, I decided to get the Faun prepped for the next paint stage, instead of worrying about tracks . The cab, windscreens, and front mud guards are all taped in place. The Faun received some strategic hairspray (back deck, deck sides in and out, handles and such), so I can a start to the worn look I'm after. Tomorrow will get a coat of Dunkelgelb, which I shall mix up using Vallejo paints.   The weapons of choice for colour  The left hand colour is AK Dunkelgelb aus ´44, this will go the 250. The middle colour is Vallejo Dunkelgelb 71.025 neat, too dark IMHO. The right hand colou is Vallejo 71.025 with UK Light stone 71.143, just right I reckon.  More tomorrow chaps, as always any comments or critique are welcome . |
