Do not trust the instructions! At least when it comes to the tracks.
I tried to follow it and the results are not very pretty.
Two issues:

- the mid length pieces (4,5 and 6 link length) are put in wrong places
(my guess is that 5-length should be switched with 4-length, will try on
the other track)

- there is an invalid number of individual links in the instructions
(for example only 6 links are to be glued on the front wheel. Imagine my
horror and frantic counting while putting eight link on it.
same for the rear wheel.)

To sum up - do not trust the instructions.
Other than that is a beautiful model :)

Well thanks :)
But it's quite simple when compared with clipping the nalis of my 2-month
old daughter.
My wife does that and I admire her.
