March 26, 2024Friul Tank tracks. Unfortunately I think I was short a bag of connectors so these probably won't get used on this project.9
March 26, 2024Primed with Mr Surfacer 150010
March 26, 2024Build complete. 13ish pieces in each bogie. Working shock absorbing capabilities. Ended up gluing them fairly static as that is not needed (and I didn't figure out exactly how to do this until the 4th set).11
