Thank you all too much. I must confess though, it's all smoke and mirrors with a little bit of friction thrown in to boot. Here's a more accurate depiction of the state of the build.......

As promised, an update. The hull has been stuck together and some base colour sprayed. Tracks got some color also and one side has been fitted along with the fender.
The tracks gave me a little tussle. 
Waiting for this to set up, then I'll tackle the other side.

Now that looks great Jeff  . Nice Dunkelgelb shade there too, what did you use and what was the issue with the tracks? |

Thanks, Paul. As for paint, I used this.
But really. It's a custom mix of Tammy paint. It came to light after I asked " What's your favorite German yellow?" on The Big A years ago.
Here it is.
XF-60 two parts. XF-59 one part. XF-15 one part. XF-2 one part.
The track issue was a couple of things. The rear idler is a keyed part. There are two placement points on the hull and of course Dragon doesn't show which slot should be used. One slot makes the tracks way too long and the other makes them way too short.
I ended up using the rear slot for the idler, making the track too short, then cutting the track and pulling the ends together with some fishing line to get the right tension.
Pain in the Butt.
