Challenges with RFM leopard 2A6 with full interior

Has anyone had challenges building the RFM Leopard 2A6 with full interior? Don’t get me wrong, I’m really enjoying this build and it’s coming out looking great! I have finished the lower hull interior and the engine, and it looks almost perfect. I love the detail and I especially love painting the tiniest little things, even if I’ll never see them again. I’ve completed the tracks…83 pieces as per instructions but when I dry fit before painting, with all wheels and sprockets on, it looks like I’m 3 links short. No problem because I can add links easily but all my google searches say 81 or 82 links should work. I have also had to do a fair amount of sanding and modifying to get the upper hull to fit nicely. Again, no problem doing this. I would love to hear others experiences and input. Thx

I built it and enjoyed it. The tracks were a bit finnicky, but if you go slow it’s not bad.

You can find my build log here

Welcome to the forum. I never count links - I just add them until they look right. Anyone counting track links on your build needs to be couting spilled toothpicks in a restaurant. :slight_smile:
And when possible I like to leave the idler adjustable.
I think soon you can post pics.

Thanks for responding. I had no trouble building the tracks. Just confused by the count. I’ve learned to think of challenges as opportunities to problem solve. In fact these tracks were easier than the tracks I recently built on the Magic Factory M10 Booker which uses metal pins.

Thanks for the reply. Good advice. I’ll add the links needed and not worry about it.
