So, I put it in the closet until better aftermarket tracks/sprockets were released. Thank you for posting this.
I was going nuts with the pin vise after melting a few links with the Dremel, even on low with the flex shaft. Then I tried using a cordless screw gun with a half charged battery and I went through an entire side of links in about an hour.
I'm holding out hope that the kit tracks are up to the challenge, I think there's enough contact points that it'll hold. They're more solid that Pz III/IV links and the tank is a lot smaller. But I'm also not planning on battling it anyway, just running around. I'll be giving it the GIrls Und Panzer paint job.
