Has anyone a sure fire way of connecting the vinyl/rubber tracks found in the M/B or Airfix tank kits, other than the heat sealing treatment ? Also, how do you overcome tracks that are too short, by about 4 -5 links ?
TIA
Paul

Haven't made my MB kits yet, but made a few Airfixs.
I made sure that the join was going to be in the centre on the bottom and then superglued the tracks on 1cm at a time, starting in the centre on the top, ie the centre of the flexible track piece.
The tracks were not long enough, by about two links on mine, and I filled the gap with milliput. Because it is on the bottom, it won't be seen.
The Airfix kit comes now with soft rubbery tracks rather than hard vinyl ones. I haven't yet built mine, but I have tried the tracks for fit and it looks like they should easily stretch a little to go on, so I doubt you'd need to add extra links.
