Tamiya Panzer IV rear wheel trouble...

[Jakko]

Stupidly tight tracks

Those old Tamiya kits are all like that, again because of motorisation. On the real Pz.Kpfw. IV there was often a bit of sag between the return rollers, but it’s not something you’ll be able to model easily with these.

awaiting some kind of melting process to get them to hold together...I’ll see if that works...

It should — make sure the pins are all the way through the holes and press a heated screwdriver onto them to get a nicely riveted track
