I knew I would have problems!

I hinted yesterday that I thought that the tracks for the Trumpeter L/15 Mörser "Bär" would cause me problems when fitting them. I was right! The first part of permeantly fitting the wheels went well enough.

Fitting the tracks was not to good! I had to stretch them but they are warped.

I packed both sides with ice cream sticks! The idea was to try to persuade the tracks to straighten out.

Things have improved a little but I am going to have to glue the upper length of tracks to the wheels. You may notice the grey wheel hub which is a spare from the kit as I have mislaid one of the painted ones! I will have mull over options for the tracks!
