Thanks, Joe! Si, you are correct. Fifteen minutes into the build and already have power tools out to obliterate the punch towers which Dragon managed to position in the worst place imaginable on the model.

Joe, Tommy--thanks guys! Boots, I sympathize with your Easy 8 track issues. I got the tracks on the M270 and these have to be the worst link-and-length tracks I have encountered, ever. Not only did they not fit, it was like they were impervious to cement. Needless to say the profanity was flying around the bench. But they are on and coated with Vallejo Track Primer. I think the worst part is over.   |

Boys, there were a lot of Mike-Foxtrot words and Methyl Ethyl Ketone flying around those tracks. Thank you for your support. LOL!!!!
