I have some plastic link by link tracks i will use for the t-34 (not much showing just the upper part)
I hope to finnish this because i had this idea for many years now and this campaign is just what i needed to start it up :D

hope i'm not gonna dissapoint you :)
Been doing some work on the tracks, they are from some old russian kit and the plastic is very brittle grr had to glue quite a few tracks after they snapt when i cut them off the sprue....
Well they are going to be in the sand partially so no problem, good i found use for them and they are better then the rubberbands in the kit!
 
Scrapping the plastic tracks... they break as soon as i look at them, will use some old friultracks from the spareparts box instead, not enough for full lenghts but enough for this one.
Spent one day cleaning tracks for nothing, hate it!
Now for something completely different...... :)

A small fix on the tamiya T-34s is to remove the two mounts at the front for towing, they didn't exist on the russian tanks, i read somewhere that they were added after the war on the tank that tamiya used as reference :hmmm .

Very cool Mats. I would never have thought of doing something like this. Very much enjoying it. Every build you do makes me want to do the same thing. Making my life difficult trying to stay the course on my own builds :D
Really looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks Guys, i have so many ideas and i hope to make some of them come true here, and the campaigns gives it a little pressure to finnish to, so i hope to finnish all my ongoing projects..... :)
