Hi ppl. With two kits waiting for primer i had the bright idea to start a third...... ๐ค๐ง๐ As the title says it a captured Mk IV male, with German camo and markings. I find it to have a far more interesting paintjob. The kit itself has a small count of parts and some of them are seriously warped. The tracks come in 4 parts on each side and even better, they are made from hard material.... We'll see......     |

Now this will be fun  . Don't worry too much about the tracks John, I used cyano on mine and they worked well  . Just get them on before paint  |

Thanks for your interest guys. Well most if the build is finished. But, i ran into a problem I just can't make the tracks bend and stay put.....
Did anyone of you ever built an EMHR kit? What did you do? Thought of using a hairdryer to soften them.....

Oh yes the sweet memories of the yesteryear . John you have to glue them down a little at a time, and use a good cyano for it too. I'll get a pic up later when I get back home |

Never built an Emhar kit. Scared of them, actually. Looks like you whipped the hull into shape. ๐๐

Can't find any pics from the MkIV, but I do have one of the Whippet . Same track just trickier to get on as the radius is smaller, but gluing a bit at a time and using cyano they will do as you wish .  |

ฮice work there Paul. Well the tracks are in place. It wasn't that diffuicult, but the whole construction is flimsy at best and needs a lot of care to put everything in place without the kit falling apart. I had to strengthen a lot of parts by adding sprue parts behind them. Anyway we are ready for primer.     |

Cheers John . I had the same issues you have mentioned so I guess all Emhar kits are the same . She is looking good now, get the primer flowing I say |
