I think if more quality issues turn up with the new vehicles, people are not going to be happy paying the higher prices. That will cost Battlefront sales because one of the reasons for buying Battlefront is their supposed "quality" advantage over other 15mm alternatives.<br /><br />@jmilesr - My only experiences with M4's are the Soviet Emchas and I usually have to file away a notch on the left track because it doesn't mate correctly to the hull. It's off just enough to not make a good fit. If the track I highlighted falls off, I will definitely slap on green stuff to bond/fill the gap.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments guys.robinochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01105774418879048742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762644163880244028.post-81955500655831025912010-10-13T03:52:26.261-07:002010-10-13T03:52:26.261-07:00I've had similar issue's with some battlef...I've had similar issue's with some battlefront tanks (M4 Shermans). When the hull cast wasn't straight along the tracks I just fill the gap with greenstuff. I've also found placing the tracks on a flat surface and apply pressure helps - sometimes the tracks have a bit of a twist in them.jmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762644163880244028.post-54134087865604477782010-10-13T01:12:53.393-07:002010-10-13T01:12:53.393-07:00Rather disappointing considering these are suppose...Rather disappointing considering these are supposed to be "new" releases. I'm guessing they did not re-master the tack sections but continued using the older ones. <br /><br />The turrets and that mess of resin (which for some reason I tend to call "slag") is an almost universal problem, occurring especially under the turrets and on the hulls where the tracks fit in my experience. It's not too difficult to fix by cutting in with a blade or filing away, but it is doubly-disappointing to see it on something this new.<br /><br />Generally I spend around 30 minutes per tank on cleanup alone before I'm happy to undercoat and start painting. I am quite picky however. Its just something I've come accept, though would prefer not to of course. The most annoying to date are the British Sherman V turrets which are slightly too large for the hull turret rings.<br /><br />CdlTChevalier de la Terrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797434491077369704noreply@blogger.com
