The trick is to completely cut through the track on each side between the track link joins as best explained in this diagram:
Note. Only cut as far as the purple lines in the diagram, about 1mm across the track from each side (but cutting completely through). Thats all you need.
I'll show you what it looks like fitted once I get around to it! Still not as good as the UM tracks, but better than the standard DS rubber look!

ps. Sorry about the grimy fingernails!

IŽll have a go at it myself tonight. You really just have to cut the ones at the bends. They still are a bit thick. You canŽt do much about that. Please post more pics with them fitted.

You should see my fingernails...
It takes very little time, and it saves trouble trying to figure out which parts to cut before you fit the tracks. This is much easier than scoring because you can't go wrong, just cut cleanly through the track with a sharp blade. Because it's DS, when the joins are flat you don't see the cut.
I still believe it will be faster than either L&L or PE, with a satisfying result !
Now, if only Dragon could mold the tracks without a kink in the middle...
I'll be sure to try this when I do one of my T-34's.
And, Wow, your hands are so "clean"....
I'd show you mine, but they are covered with cuts and blood.
Had an accident this morning with the Dremel mounting a saw blade.
Ouch!
Now they're covered with band aids and super glue (to seal the wounds).
LOL

Sorry to hear about your hands. And yes, superglue is excellent at bandaging up small wounds! I even used it once to stick back in a filling that fell out before I got a chance to go back to my dentist
Not exactly sure how they can do this in the moulds, they'd need to fit razorblades in them I think. But it's quite a simple process they could do as part of their prebuilt construction line processes.
