Hi all,any hints on replacing the tracks on this model?,there doesnt look to be enough room between the front wheels to slide it past :?

Hi

Only two options, either drill the rivets, remove the base and fit tracks, or cut the tracks feed through and superglue the ends back together. Ideally with the later option you also glue some flexible "tape" or similar across the join on the inside of the track to support the glue and strengthen the join.

The second option looks better and won't devalue the model.

Cheers
