Assembly and finishing

Assembly involves connecting the individual links using the wire supplied to form two track runs. Careful preparation of the assembly points and a clean cut of the axles help maintain consistent articulation. A dry fit on the suspension allows you to adjust the length before final installation.

Metal tracks are ideal for painting and weathering. A suitable primer for metal parts improves paint adhesion. Then you can work effects such as wear, dust, or mud, depending on the finish you want for the armored vehicle.
