I've made a concerted effort to complete the metal tracks for my spartan.
These are the first time I've ever used individual linked tracks and for enyone else who's never used or seen them, here you go:

The links in the top tray still need to be cleaned up with a file and the link holes cleared with a 0.4mm bit.
The completed piece of track is approx 1/3 of one track. The small pieces of wire in the bottom tray are what holds them together.
There's still another complete bag of them to go!!! :bang:

I don't know how armour modellers do this all the time. :dead

Yep. When I came up against this, I took a policy of just building ten links per day across a period. Worked for me.

I've just bought the Tamiya 1/25 Centurion tank. Thankfully this new release has got pre-assembled tracks. Having said that, they were easy to assemble when they were separate links, only 93 links per side !!!
