How do I work rubber tracks for 1/72 scale tanks? I have only put one set of tracks to a tank together and I have had the most trouble I've had in a long time. What glue even sticks rubber together? I've tried Tamiya thin and Superglue, but neither really works and takes a very long time to dry in which any tiny miniscule movement means that the track will start to unbind, leave a mess of glue and eventually get stuck to something else meaning that there's a lot more cleanup required.
>Buy aftermarket tracks lol
Not an option. I want to know how to glue rubber tracks properly, not buy my way out.
The kits in question are Paper Panzers from Modelcollect and Trumpeter.
How do I start with the tracks? Do I glue it to the sprocket wheel first, then glue that to the hull and then glue around to the wheel at the other end of the hull? Then add in the middle wheels? How do I stop the pieces from becoming bent out of shape or glued at the wrong angle?
The tracks are also sometimes bent or warped when in the box and they assume that shape. I've put the tracks flat under weight and left them since a week so far and I won't be back to see on them until late January. I hope they will be straight and assume that straightness from now on.
