TrackOperation

A test run of the resin T16E1 tracks on the 1/6 M5A1 Stuart light tank. A 1.5 volt flashlight battery is being used for power, rather than the 12 volt wet cell, in order to run the track slowly to watch for problems.

There's a really good book about the building of this 1/6 scale M5A1 Stuart from Schiffer Publishing which can be ordered from them, or Amazon. (grin)

Wouldn't be suitable for running though would it? Resin would break? For display?

[BSteinIPMS]

The resin tracks are very strong and would be entirely suitable for running indoors. For outdoors, though, I don't think resin would hold up too long in sand, gravel, rocks, and whatever else you may wish to run your tank in.

Man I really did not realize the scale of this tank until I saw your hands on it. It's BIG 1/6th correct? Nice Job.

[BSteinIPMS]

Yes, 1/6 scale. The tank is over two feet long and will weigh about 48 lbs. when it's finished.

I made the masters and had them cast in resin.

I replaced my stuarts tracks for the original rubber one from the static. :)

They don't look as good as yours but they look better than the ones that came with :P

Those tracks look great. Did you purchase them somewhere or make them yourself?
