Re: Gig's 1:16 FCM F1
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!
regards,
Painless
P.S. pretty much going to go with the Tamiya for the new KV-2 build with your turret. ;o)

Re: Gig's 1:16 FCM F1
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.

Re: Gig's 1:16 FCM F1
you might need to custom cut the track pins too. the length of the track links dont match the ones HL or tamiya makes.PainlessWolf wrote:Good morning, Giganaut,

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