One more from the back to show the in-field repair craftsmanship. Seen in YouTube videos, not my own interpretation.

> A bit worried about the tracks, that looks like a lot of work.
I just took a look at the instructions, and they seem OK. Use the jig that Meng gives you to ensure the links are lined up correctly and insert the pins like the instructions tell you, and I suspect it will be fairly painless. At least you won't have to glue a whole bunch of parts together for each link.
My tip would be to do this in stages while you're working on the rest of the model: a bit now, a bit later, etc. If you wait until the rest of the model is finished and "have to" do the whole track at once, you'll probably get bored senseless 🙂

Mick - yes, using the tracks that were in the kit.
Jakko - that sounds like a reasonable idea. I'm quite far along the construction of the lower hull, will build some links of the tracks.

The way I normally do this is to put links together until I get bored with the job, then put them aside again and continue later 🙂 I would also advise to first clean up all the links and put them in a container, rather than cleaning up some and putting them together, then cleaning up some more, etc.

Only little progress since, adding missing pieces to the hull.

Aaand completed. Almost on the 1 year anniversary. It was a fun build, can recommend this kit.
