Good morning everyone!

We'll be attending the model day in the Dundee Museum of Transport (https://www.dmoft.co.uk/whats-on) this Sunday 04 October from 10.00 to 15.00.

IPMS Dundee will also be there showing off the vast selection of completed kits of all sorts that have been built by club members over the last year.

No doubt that other clubs will be joining the show to display everything transport related.

Come along and have a great day out at this gem of a museum this weekend!

Come along to Dundee Museum of Transport to experience a great day out for all the family! Our friendly guides will be on hand to help show you round as you explore this “Hidden Gem”. Purchase tickets for a day visit or become a member. Hot drinks, snacks and ice cream are available in our tearo...

So.....

Takom have released the T28 and M28A1/A2 kits. Very nice they are too. Got to be one of my favourite post war examples of sheer madness alongside the Tortoise.

There is just one (slightly minor) problem - the tracks. Each link has 6 parts, 100 links per length and 4 lengths for each tank. That's 2400 parts to be removed from the sprue, cleaned up and then glued together very carefully in order to make them work. Oh boy!

I had a wee think about this and came up with the idea of printing them myself. Two pieces - the link and a pin. The test parts have just been completed and I've included photos here to show them including being fitted to one of the kit sprocket wheels. For the 30 links shown, it only took 10 minutes to assemble and, due to the pin design, no glue is needed.

Please let me know what you think.
