I've used several brands...

Gorilla is available locally and works pretty good and has been my go to. I found some on Amazon by "cec corp" from our neighbors to the north (my new go to).

I've been impressed. Cost is better than most and it seems to cure about twice as fast as the Gorilla version. Which means I can go on to the next step quicker...

As long as you pre-fit the zim pieces, you'll have plenty of time for sliding around and fitting.

Gluing that Zimmerit seems intimidating but I'm sure you'll do as good as Kaczor did ! And man, it looks fantastic once glued on.

Good Evening,
After a long week, I got a little more done on the lower hull. Once everything cures overnight, I'll continue assembly, starting with finishing the step with the tracks. Also, the replacement track set I ordered from T-Rex has already come in. Amazing speed of shipping from China...
regards,
Painless

I do Not envy putting those tracks together. Let us know how that goes.

Keep it up Mr. Wolf...

Will this be a static model? T-Rex tracks are 3D printed and are not suitable for RC models (only as a hull decoration).

This is his 1/35 mule ;)

Tracks look fantastic, they have been scanned on the real deal. I love that And that's what I tend to do as much as possible for my tanks.

Good Evening all,
Now that Thanksgiving has receded into last week and the latest snow is melting, I felt well enough to pick up the 1/35 King Tiger Porsche turreted Paint Mule. The running gear was assembled and primed when I set it aside a couple of weeks back. This update will show the components painted and put back on the Lower. Tracks are in progress and when they are complete, painted and mounted on the model, I will paint and add the wheel caps to finish up this part of the assembly. This is really important since this is the only fore view I have of what the paint I wind up with will look like on the 1/16 scale RC version.
regards,
Painless

Painless, I always get a kick out of photos on your modeling table: interesting creatures, tools, substances... What fun!

He'll probably have birthday cake crumbs on it today ;)

Happy (hopefully Painless) birthday Mr Wolf :wave:
