I did think of Fruils Pete but couldn`t really afford them, i had some Leo bandies but they are to wide and don`t fit the Meng sprocket....these kit ones are just insane!!!!!!!. I can live with Link & Length and even Indy links but to get to the stage of having to make each link out of 6 parts is just ferkin` madness!!

If i could have got away with half`s i`d have been over the moon ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) , unfortunately not!! ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) Makes ya wonder how far the boundaries get pushed on this detailing lark.......this just puts me off rather than attract.........i remember Mengs tracks in the D9 build.......to fiddly and didn`t fit..... conversion work on the hydraulic rams was required.......a big issue IMHO

One side done ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) ....... ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) It`s actually 6 for the first one as you need the link pin to connect to the other end on final assembly.........the rest of them use 5, 2 upper pads, 2 lower ones plus the link/s ..........the prob i was having was when you clicked (no glue) the 2 upper and lower pads with the links in between you would take it out the former and it would leave half the feckers from the bottom in there!!! , you then had to re-align it and try again..............still they feckin` come apart but different ones from the run!!!!!!!!!! I`v ended up just putting a minuscule of TETC into each divot/hole on the upper pad and gluing together..............fecker`s DON`T come apart now!!!.... and they still move!! My win i think ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
