With 20 of these to construct for the 2 rear wheels this was always going to be a little tedious. This is also the only dissapointment on the kit. Each of the links that the pads attach to has a mould seam running through it, not terribly visible but it makes the fit too tight so they have to be removed, this fault is common to all copies of these kits as googling has shown.
See the photo below. Having said that the tracks on all tanks are tedious and usually require a fair bit of cleanup.
