Inspired by David Coyne's blog on Track-Link, I decided to take a break from my two KV-1s and build something largely OOTB. I think I should cut Dragon some slack here: so far the fit is fantastic, and the details are super crisp. Some dragonisms in the instructions, but nothing too bad. The worst one concerns the return rollers: the ones indicated are of a later type, and only 6 ones are included. So I followed David's lead and used the same he used, of which 8 are included.

I assembled the tracks over the weekend: 96 links per side in segments of 10. Each segment took about 20 minutes to clean up and to assemble. Then I started securing the wires with a dab of thick, slow drying superglue. I'm still trying to figure out how and when to mount the tracks.

Now I think the model is ready for painting. I left off the two rear armour plates for now, otherwise it'll be difficult to paint the louvres and the sides of the engine compartment. The headlight is also kept for later, and the superstructure roof is not glued on yet. I'll paint the lower hull and running gear first, install the tracks when they are burnished and weathered, and only then I'll do the upper hull.
