Good morning, Giganaut,
This is a pretty amazing undertaking! If I can ever source tracks, I'll come talk to you about a Char B-1. That's been a fave French tank for a while.
Following along!

Painless

P.S. pretty much going to go with the Tamiya for the new KV-2 build with your turret. ;o)

i may need to redesign the tracks for easier printing and give it a stronger structure rather than having the track pins being the ones for the sprocket to drive with.

you might need to custom cut the track pins too. the length of the track links dont match the ones HL or tamiya makes.

ooh! awesome and i would like to see progression of it hehehehehe

Good morning, Giganaut.
If you print those tracks out, you should have a price for 'assembled' and 'kit' ;o)
