This is my first Takom kit. A good kit, though the instructions in a couple of locations didn't make it clear how a part mounted properly. Accessories by Value Gear.

Heavy weathering !

This kit is really a "must have".

I wonder if partial workable tracks are a better option than total workable tracks.
It is not necessarily easiest to build.

It isn't as weathered as it looks in the images. Just dirt and grime. I hate plastic track links! Fortunately, these were long plastic pieces with just individual links to wrap about the end wheels and sprocket. I made sure it was all individual links before buying the kit because Takom often has individual links, LOL.

you've done a good job there, well done mate. so the only issues were the track links and some bad instructions in places?

Just a couple of vague instructions. It wasn't individual links except around the end wheel and sprocket, so no problems there. I intentionally chose a kit that wasn't individual links.
