Hi, great build! Which metal track holders did you use on the Turret sides?

Look at this:

Thanks, just what I need for my Tamiya KT! Except I can't seem to find any available anywhere....

You can 'find' them here, but- and perhaps you've already seen this- they're currently out of stock. I think Axels is the exclusive dealer for Schumo parts, and so getting them elsewhere is unlikely unless a member here has a set to sell. You might try putting a speculative order in, however with Axels. Some members do, and eventually, get the bits they need.

If you happen to be in the UK, the postal charges, which were always something of a niggle, are now astronomical (and there may be other charges lurking...VAT, Customs etc..depending on value)
For example, a 3.50 (£2.94) Euro MG will attract postal charges of around 24 Euros (roughly £20 )
That's all very sobering.

Hello
exists here, but in plastic, I personally used it without worries, just drilled and put a small brass nail before gluing to strengthen fixing, on the part in contact with the turret

Schumo stuff seems really difficult to obtain these days! I hand wondered if it was still being manufactured? The postal charges for Germany do seem ridiculous these days.

Complimenti per gli optional che hai scelto per il KT Tamiya.

Uno nota stonata è aver scelto un modello da un gioco e non da una foto reale.

Ho fatto una ricerca veloce nei miei libri sul KT e non ho trovato ne la colorazione ne un KT con tutte quelle maglie dei cingoli di scorta.

Buon lavoro e buon hobby a tutti

I agree with you about the excess of spare tank tracks adorning the Turret but the colour as a base was certainly in use although it was exactly that a base upon which a proper camo design was affixed,

Hi, which glue did you use to secure the plastic wheel inserts into the metal sections?

Hello
Really interesting build, paperclips are a great idea, Cant wait to see the painting process.
All the best
