I can?t believe I have this kit. I ordered a Jag V; then received an email from the seller that politely said that the Jag V was unavailable????the Jag VI was available for the exact same price???so for book keeping simplicity I asked them to switch the Jag VI for the Jag V???
Should have checked it out first!! Not too long before this event, someone here at Scalemates had posted something about what a pain in the butt the tracks were going to be???.I found at least one review saying the same thing???.and here I am?.staring at the same task??.
Away we go!

yes the Porsche tracks suck i have the premium edition of this kit and i took one look at the tracks and placed the kit on the shelf and there it will set unless you find a ingenious way of assembling them 🙂

james johnson
no ingenious way, just going to suck it up and do it! Wish whoever it was here at Scalemates that was tackling this would respond. When he/she posted about these tracks, I remember thinking that I was glad I wasn't that person! Ouch, came back and bit me! Oh well, I like your comment on camaraderie on that other thread William, ditto for me!

Hunter Cummins
The person who did it was me and mike
I hace found the easiest way of assembling
build the tracks like you would anyother plastic track. Take the two big pieces and make the whole trake run from them. Put them around the running gear and let to dry (add in all of the sag and make the tracks the way you want them before they dry. Then take the tracks off of the running gear and add the tiny little pieces accordenly

Hunter Cummins
And bam
set of porshe tracks dome and ready for painting 🙂

james johnson
Good idea Hunter, actually I was thinking along those lines.....I'm making the ground runs with all of the pieces.....when it comes time to make the section that goes around and over the wheels........I'll do as you describe.......thanks!

Hunter Cummins
Your welcome james 🙂
I dont have this kit
but I know what the links are like
I &ad the first one and devised a plann for it
then I traded it
but I still have it written down 🙂

james johnson
The link assembly isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The pieces fit together nicely and the injection marks aren't very bad at all.........a little tedious, but that's the nature of the beast................

Hunter Cummins
Yup
kinda wish I never traded mine lol
picked mine up for 10 dollars

william wise
That is a good idea ill have to remember this when i ever start my Porsche Tiger
