Well there are probably exceptions to every rule including which way the tracks are installed. As Pattoncommander actually served on these things, he probably knows how things were supposed to go. Sure there will be exceptions, and I use this simple fact as a comeback to anyone who wants to start picking nits. Never say never with respect to tanks and wartime. The heat of the moment will determine what is right.!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't doubt that first hand knowledge is invaluable to making a historically accurate model, but for the modelller who just builds tanks because he enjoys his hobby and likes the way his models look, accurate or not, like myself, having one persons "viewpoint" forced down your throat as the only way things should be modelled is wrong.
Even when his so-called facts are proved to be in-accurate, whether against regulations or not, "pattoncommander" STILL insists on using the phrase, NEVER done like this, or NEVER done like that.
Maybe "pattoncommander" should read your quote regarding exceptions and nit picking and THINK before posting his "holier than thou" comments!
