I might have some in the parts box, not accurate but something.
Just wait until you see the finish, I think all of you will find it interesting, most likely not accurate but something different.

I think that a lot of you are wondering (HOW) will he ever get that track together?
Well I got it together and it wasn’t verry hard, tedious but not really hard if you follow my instructions.
First you will have to make a Jig to hold the Track Shoes, preferably out of something that isn’t very flexible.
I used some scrap from my junk drawer. You can make it as long as you want, I made it to hold about 21 Track shoes.
Ok enough talk, here are the Pics. I hope this helps any of you trying to build this kit.
Now for some painting and detailing.

Donald your doing some great work here, however regarding the track the Universal carrier always seems in photos to have a slightly slack track when stationary so possibly 166 links?

The track is really flexible so I plan on gluing it down to give it a little sag.
That should fix that.

Well I have the Track painted. weathered , & installed permanently with a slight Sag.
Here is how I did it.
OK now that is over I can get on to the Detailing and Weathering.

I doff my cap to you Donald, putting together those track links is likely to be my biggest hurdle…clumsy fingers and little patience here,

Amazing build, ,

Hey I gave you a fairly easier way of doing it.
The hardest part is cleaning up all the tiny parts.
I just have a little more detailing and I’ll be finished.

Mine arrives tomorrow. I got a message from the royal mail. Having you point out all the tips along the way will definitely be a blessing.

Hey Que the Cheering Section.
I marked this build as a captured vehicle pressed into service by the Germans as either a Tow Vehicle for a PAK 40 , or a Munitions Supply Vehicle.
I hope this helps.
