Running gear. Chaps. Fun was had, link and length. Top run is two parts to help get the sag, bottom run is a single part, all the rest are indies. Precarious at the moment as wheels are held together with double sided tape. ![](https://i.ibb.co/0VFk3sZ/2v2-Hpno-DNx-Ahz-Ns.jpg) Cheers.

Looks good Mence, they have certainly caught the right amount of sag on there ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Very good! The model looks much better than the previous Sheridans.

Fine looking tracks Mence. I sometimes use a tiny dab of PVA glue to hold parts in place. That's what's holding the nose section in place on a P-38 I'm making.

Nice and sharp!!
How are you finding the plastic Mence? I'm looking at the Jagdpanther G2 at the moment and the plastic has a different quality to it, holds beautiful detail but is almost clay like.

Nice and sharp!! How are you finding the plastic Mence? I'm looking at the Jagdpanther G2 at the moment and the plastic has a different quality to it, holds beautiful detail but is almost clay like I find it very much like Trump or Tamiya, no issues at all buddy, it cuts ok, sands ok but does seem very quick to react to styrene cement, by that I mean it goes soft very quickly. Update... Started on the upper hull at the back, lots of small parts and PE (which I dislike). No issues really, just fiddly. ![](https://i.ibb.co/gVQYwtQ/2v2-Hc3-Ng-Tx-Ahz-Ns.jpg) Thanks chaps for your interest.

I don't like pe either Mence. The upper hull looks good. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Looking good fella ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Detail is similar, both link and length but Tamiya use some shorter runs as well minimising the need for individual links which personally I would prefer RFM doing.
