Hey Buda,

Thanks a lot. I can't wait to get this beast running.

Hello okieboy,

First I would blacken them with blacken-it (if you can get some), then I would secure the ends of the pins with Loc-Tite blue (red is too strong to use if you want to ever get the pins out again), put a drop of loc-tite on the ends of each shaft and push the pin back in (If you have spares, first try this techniquie out on them). Then paint them to your desired color. Don't borther to weather them if you plan on this being a running model, cause during operation they will weather themselves.

Hope this helped

Hey All,

I recently bought Kenny Kong tracks for my 1/15 Stug and I need some help/suggestions about them. Specifically, the track pins come out pretty easily.
How do I secure them? Should I glue the pin heads with CA? If so, should I paint them first, then glue the pins? Thanks for your help.
