Guys- I have started working on the aftermarket tracks from Modelkasten for my Panzer IV. For sure it is a time consuming part but I know it will come out alot better than those old rubber bands that came with the kit.

Tracks have been cut from the sprues... that's the easiest part.

Now that's the hardest part... sanding the tracks with my fat fingers. The right link one shown below has not been sanded while the left link has been sanded.

Repeat the procedure 200 times or so! Fun... fun... fun... NOT! But it will be worth every penny and second when they are completed. I think I am past half way now...
