Messenger For Mac Keeps Changing My Name

the tracks ..... or the shoes of the tank! :)

Over the years I've tested most of the tracks for the Sherman, which are commercially available. Personally, I tend not to consider the tracks on vinyl though, I admit that lately have made great strides, especially those included in the last box of Dragon. To this day I remain fatally attracted to those with single mesh that, once assembled, perfectly following the trend of the truck. Among them I got to use those of ModelKasten, AFV, Panda (ex RPHS) and FriulModel. Those with whom I am very well are the FriulModel metal. I must say that even ModelKasten are well made, probably more detailed than the Friul but when it comes to aging stage, I noticed that the bear Friul much better the various solvents that we use in various stages of painting. The procedure I use in the construction of the tracks Friul is:

  1. First, replace the wire contained in the box with a size larger
  2. begin with mesh assemble no more than ten at a time with a
  3. widen the drill holes where I'll place the wire
  4. Once the United ten meshes with the fixed wire with a drop of cyanoacrylate
  5. Removing the piece of excess wire with wire cutters
  6. Once the number of links that make up the track join the various sections of ten links that I have already assembled. To compose a track of this Sherman I had to assemble 78 mesh
