The completed lower hull. The engine firewall is fitted and under coated ready for the application of Tamiya XF-18 Medium Blue.
Meng has a very clever, if somewhat convoluted, method of track construction. On the left are the supplied jigs for the track construction. On the right are the track links, guide horns and end caps. Not shown are the optional track pads!
The track links are connected by the insertion of the guide horns.
After completion of six links, they are laid into the jig and the top fitted.
A section of vinyl end caps are placed into the second jig and once fitted are cut from their sprue.
The 2 parts of the jig are then brought together to insert the end caps onto the track links.
Hey Presto! A completed section of track.
