I thought that the tracks appear to be too tight, maybe you want to put an extra track shoe in them

Good job your doing there these things do take time and when you think you've finished, well you know the rest, but i do agree with Brel you need to slacken the tracks a little so they sit a bit more like this.

We all have to start somewhere,  trial and error is the name of the game. So don't be afraid to experiment. I don't see any reason yours can't be as good as the rest. Who knows it could be a show stopper. You are off to a great start. Keep us posted.
You have nothing to fear, but fear its self. Or maybe a KT too!

mick i'm sure given time youre Tiger will look as "good" as mine, it takes patience ingenuity and abit of money, what youve done so far is great, carry on the way you are, and i think you might surprise yourself

That zimmerit looks great! Bear in mind that when I started in this tank addiction my Tiger looked like the first pic, and all these months later it is like the second one. It has had numerous facelifts and mods along the way, and there is very little of the original left now?

I have learned quite a bit about electronics, glue, and paint that I never knew before, and have to say that of all my rc/modelling pursuits over the years, this has to be the most enjoyable. It's well worth the effort (don't know about the expense though!  :-\  )
