belugawhaleman Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I have one of these kits. Has anyone here built this kit? I'm worried about the tracks. Each track link has five parts! I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with info on building this kit Thanks; Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I have the same kit in stash and saw the flimsy construction of the track links. I haven't build the kit yet, but decided to go aftermarket for the tracks. Takom has a set available, where you click together the one piece track links which are already removed from the sprue. I clicked two together easily, without breaking the parts and the connection seems stable. There are ejector marks on the inside, but that's not a problem with the MK.

Bomber_County Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Paul, yes I’ve built this...... and I to after 2 hours tipped all the tracks in the bin. Absolutely impossible to build and make look like anything decent. I bought these and that’s what you see......Masterclub MC135132CL They snap together and are resin, still have to be careful but they are a single link per.......hope it helps...... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Thanks for the replies. The takom snap-together tracks have been, so far, impossible for me to find. Everywhere I've looked they have been out of stock. I'll look for the master club tracks. Thanks again. Same for the Master club tracks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 The Takom Tadpole and the new 2 in one Male/female kit include the snap-together tracks from what I understand. These are also impossible to find in stock. A lot of people hoarding, I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 There's a couple of the Male/Female kits listed on eBay. Hannants- has a Fruil metal track set in stock for the kit. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ATL-148?result-token=rB852 A bit more work than the Takom but might still be easier than the kit ones.
