Heck, they fit so good you don’t really need glue except on a few end connectors.

Looks like the exact same offerings that Panda Plastics used to offer. I have an exact same set of tracks, right down to the “duckbill” grousers. I have the set for a USMC Sherman build.

Yes, 6th generation on my mothers side (1842 from Cornwall) and 5th generation on my fathers side (1860 from Luxembourg). usual Kiwi ‘bitzer’!

Cheers, Pete M.

That would be because what was RHPS became Panda Plastics at some point :slight_smile:

Do we know if anyone picked up the Panda/RHPS tooling? Would be nice to see them back on the market…

F-word, F-word, F-word.
There were some tracks I wanted …
Oh well, maybe the future will provide a solution …

Yeah pretty much but I wanted to glue them so I don’t break them during handling. Sausage fingers and Ham hands I am!

I have never seen nor used this type of bottle (I never use cement, it’s pure solvents, CA or epoxi for me)
Is it totally new or has it been around for a while?
I did some googling and others seem to have problems with clogging in that tube.
You have the cap off and there is a small tube inside the nozzle, I think yours is all plastic (not sure though).

I think a long pin/needle showed down the hole will clear the clogging, that seems to be opinion on the various fourms found by the google search.

This is the Unclogging Device provided by Testors:
