Happy Easter all!
I’ve begun attaching the second run of tracks. ![]()

The tracks on both sides are not set. I’m working on the OVM now. I need to see about getting some single-wing wing nuts for the hatches as the Sovereign kit includes nothing for them. I keep finding little bits of details that the kit misses - like the lifting hooks on each side at the front of the superstructure. The barrel will be mounted soon, too.

I use sewing thread (usually black but browns or tans would work depending on the weathering).
Pierce the guide horns on either side of the axle of the support roller.
Thread goes through the guide horn, under the axle, through the other guide horn, tie a knot with the loose ends under the axle, add a small dab of CA to lock the knot.
The pull of the thread will pull the track down on either side of the support roller, causing the track to sag down,
