One gotta love those Trumpy T-62's. Can't say I ever had a drive sprocket issue, but it seems you managed well ey!
Cheers

Would you say the Trumpy T-62 is better to build than the Tamiya one? Just wondered for future ref

Thank you, one and all.
Nige, can't say. I haven't built the Tamiya kit.

Nigel, I built the Tamiya kit years ago and although it's a good simple build, the Trumpeter kits beat it hands down  . There is apparently an issue with the back deck, but to be honest I can't see what those rivet counters are getting at  .

Nige, I will say this build has been good so far. No issues at all.  Been pecking away at the bits and bobs. Some PE.  Upper Hull and fuel tank stuff.   Can any one give me a link count per side? I'm coming up with around 94 per. Does that sound close? AAACW

Jeff I used 93 on mine, but I think the sag is too tight  . I reckon 94 should be fine  .  Sorry for the hijack, but you see better what mean on the pic

I think this was 94/95 per side...but that was using FRUILS mate

I wanted the well worn stretched look on the tracks.
