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.
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.
