Track pins Sorry if this is hidden
Hello all, sorry if I missed this somewhere. What do you use for track pins ? I would like to add 1 or 2 more links to my Pz IV, to give the tracks a looser look, but I need to add some pins. Any suggestions ?

Hello,
I used 1mm Ø metal wire to link tracks' ends for an easier removal.
Otherwise you can buy extra pins. They're not expensive.

you will only need to add one link per side to give it a nice look (especially if your tracks are excessively tight right now) Did your tank come with extra links and pins? You can alway use pins from other tanks (like tiger tracks) and cut then to size.

Thanks for the help, it came with extra links no pins. I was playing around and found that a paper clip works but is loose. Where do you find that carries pins, as that would be my preferred choice.

where did you get the tank from (if mato then they will send you some free of charge). If not I can send you some from my tiger. Just cut them to length (PM me)
