Kits With Glue-Together Tracks Vs. Kits With Snap-Together
Permalink   


Any way to tell which is which before I buy it?  I read that some kits of the same tank from the same manufacturer have the one kind and later ones the other kind.

As might be expected, the glue-togethers are too much for the likes of me.

Hello Long-Tom,
If you refer to the Takom Mark IV kits there is only one sure thing: buy the Mark IV hermaphrodite version and you are sure of buying a kit with snaptogether tracks. You can also make a Male or Female version out of this kit. The other Mark IV's have the glueable tracks and they are a nightmare to build (those tracks, the kit is good!).
The mark V from Takom also has the snaptogether tracks.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Willem

Thanks!  With that I can revive my Mark tanks idea that I abandoned before due to the track problem.

Hello Long Tom,
the kit is wort it. It builds fine and those clickable tracks are so much better than the original ones.....

The new 2 in 1 version of the kit should also have the clickable tracks. It seems to be basically the same as the "hermophrodite" but with two metal barrels.

Besides the Mark tanks, what about the other tank types?  St. Chamond, A7v, etc.?

Hello Long Tom,

there are reviews of these kits on PMMS and Armorama. These kits have the tracks that need some work to put together......

Here are the links to reviews:

Takom St. Chamond:

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
