great paint job - if this is the dragon kit with zimmerit - and you used their DS tracks - i too had
a problem with their tracks - you have to have the rear idler locked as far back as possible.I you
have a glued them in another position cut the required no of links out of the ds tracks and superglue.
Make sure the join is on the underside.
No criticism - i had a similar problem and this was my solution.
Cheers Richard

Dragon DS tracks are the worst tracks ever, IMHO. As for the reason mentioned, I usually throw them out, buy Friul or plastic individual track ;)

Thanks for the nice comments. I would love to try fruil tracks but they are 60+ dollars.

yes Fruil tracks cost as much as the kit.people are now recommending KAIZEN workable tracks which cost about 1/3rd of the fruil tracks.
go to you tube adam mann 3d scale he has several videos on tiger track options. all the best richard.ps you did a great job on the big cat.
