Hiya Bruce,
Good looking model there. It's good to see some people are still getting the most out of the older 1/76 scale kits. Is it possible to obtain a small section of spare plastic track link(as used on the hull)to fill in for the broken section of vinyl track link?
In regards to your up coming T34 project be sure to consult the excellent article by Tomasz Basarabowicz here at the Missing-Lynx. reviews under small scale.
