Link and length can be annoying, but there is no style of track worse than a bigass sprue of multi piece links that are attached via one of the surfaces that have to fit together. I hate it so much. I bought a Trumpeter kit of a Russian laser tank and check this poo poo out:

IncredibleIgloo posted:I am building a couple of Andy's and Das Werks 1/16 models and all the tracks are individual parts, with 3 pieces. So like 450 pieces to cut and sand and glue. So now I am going to do a Puma and a Greyhound instead. I wish puma kits would tell you there is supposed to be a big rear end mold line on the turret. I sanded the one on my bolt action kit off. Loool I've done stuff like that before. The sanding off detail, not the multi part links. Every time I come across the latter I either find some marginally better aftermarket option, or just do the front part of the tracks and put it on a shelf between two other things. Life is too short. More importantly, I burn out too easily. I found a company (read: guy) that sells pre-assembled working tracks, Sector35. But it's out of stock everywhere I've looked. The guy is Ukrainian, and the internet rumor mill says he was killed in a rocket attack.

That whole build is pretty sweet, but I especially love the wood grain on the ppsh. Meanwhile, speaking of Russian equipment, I was working on the trumpeter BMP-3 I complained about before when I was struck, as I occasionally am, by how BIG modern fighting vehicles are.  Here's the work in progress with a Char B1 in the same scale. Imagine what a BMP with a 30mm auto cannon could do on the Eastern front.

Charliegrs posted:I'm working on the 1/72 Tamiya F4U. It doesn't have folding wings but if it did I would definitely do unfolded. Folded would probably be cool for an aircraft carrier diorama. Id upload some pics but the imgur uploader isn't cooperating with me right now but I'm going with a pretty worn look, like the ones that were land based on Pacific islands. Apparently that lime green color in the cockpit is a primer and the whole plane is painted with it so I did some chipping effects with that color as well as some exposed metal. Again, I wish I could post pics. The imgur upload feature in Awful has been completely broken for a while now due to changes on imgur's end.
