Default RE: Another T-55 build/review

And now we move on to the tracks. I have to say this normally mundane task of pinning each link was actually enjoyable.

The track is high durability nylon just as the Tamiya track. It is very well made with no obvious mold markings and each link fits perfectly.

The pins are rounded on each end to help insertion and each link has a set tab that is slightly smaller diameter to hold the pin. No glue or end caps needed for these tracks. In a few words the best track set I have worked with over the years.

Next is the main gun shroud on its frame. It does not fit so well so instead of wrestling with it, I opt to custom make mine later.

The lights are optional and here are visual 'representations' of the IR imagers for targeting and detection. Its going to be fun at night!
