It looks great but the rubber band tracks let it down.

Dont the real vehicles use the "rubber band" type tracks on this model of halftrack? I'm pretty sure they arent individual links.

Looks nice, any idea of the price?

Hi All,

As we won't be getting one of these beauties until later this year, here's a little appetizer.

Yes they do but the tracks on this are warped already which means they'll get thrown easier.

Here's a pic of the track set up on the real thing.
I hope torro are making the sprockets & suspension parts out of metal
or we are going to be spending a lot of time in the workshop.
