505th King Tiger the day after a scale 96 mile march.

Never posted video of my tank before so I hope this works well for everyone. Here's my 505th KT the day after his 96 scale mile march through the woods, through streams, through rock strewn gullies and did it all in 4 hours! Only problem I ran into was track pins coming out causing the tracks to come apart and jam the idlers, easy to fix but pain in the ass on the trail!

Anyway here you go hope you like it, let me know what you think!

That's one way to weather a tank.

Looks great. How did the super glue work for the track pins that came out? I usually flatten the very end of the pin a bit to make a bigger diameter and that seems to work OK, but I've wondered about using CA.

Before I glued them all the pins used to come out all the damn time, very annoying! It does a really good job at holding 98% of them in but the last 2% gets on my last damn nerve! I opened the holes up on the 2 that kept coming out to allow the glue to work down into the hole and hopefully hold them this time. The right track never comes apart anymore it's just 2 pins on the left track that can't seem to stay put!

That is quite a trek for these plastic tanks. I am sure it really worked out the bugs.

The only plastic is the upper hull, turret and rear bulk head everything else is metal.

Got to hand it to ya Mr Jack, thats a hell of a method to prove your good work was, good
I also was wondering about the 'anal' park ranger you rubbed up against a while back, but I guess he is now an even lower civil servant after the fuss he caused last time eh !

[jackalope]

Herman, Thank you very much sir! It was the park trash collector who had a problem with the tank, the ranger was really nice.

I wonder how many tanks have been built that could have kept up with it? Plastic tracks NEVER would have been able to make that trip!
