Sorry- never mind i just realized i had the tracks on wrong...my bad!

Marc, Captain Obvious here posting for Mr.Jackalope it would appear you have the tracks on wrong.

Yep, that is issue #1. Once you turn those puppies around and you still have rub which is a common occurrence on HL's just get out the hairdryer and take the upper deck off so you can apply heat from behind and bend out slightly...

Didn't you do this before ? or was it someone else

I thought of that, i have my wife hair dryer and a heat gun...I think the heat gun would make a bad mess of my tank fast though of course! How do you know not to go too far and heat the plastic too much by mistake?

I thought of bending them outwards to look battle damaged but, they were armored skirts, I have never seen a photo of one with bent skirts-missing yes, bent no...I considered all the options to this point, anything's better then to do damage to the upper hull- so expensive! But i have thought to do more body work, been hesitating and considering exactly how, naturally you'd want to do it right since there's no do-overs.

so Marc, are they still touching after you reversed the tracks?

The other thing to start with first is sand them down. They are wayyyy to thick for scale.
