How to fix/workaround broken spindle?

[Madmattmodels89]

Hmmm may be drill tru and make a new pin either out of plastic or metal. Might work . I did it on a Sherman never had an issue

Agreed, drill out the old and make a new pin as Madmatt suggested

I broke one on a Tamiya kit last year, used an old thin knitting needle pushed through to fix it. Hope helps

drill through and a styrene rod replacement as suggested by Madmattmodels89 is the way.

I've topped and tailed a small nail. It's got a smaller diameter but I'll try a dollop of Tamiya putty.

Glue it on flush, the tracks are segmented ones on this kit so there is no need to keep it moveable. Getting the position right should not be a tricky thing at all.

BIn it and move on to another model ....lol....sounds like you've sussed out a good solution there already mate...how did the tarps turn out??

If I were concerned with this problem, my challenge would be to center the hole on the right place. I'd use a piece of metal sheet (a soda can would do) where I'd drill a hole the same diameter as the broken axle, then I'd use the "tool" to center the hole on the model. Once you have drilled the hole at the right place, a small rod will do the task.
Hope it will help

I'd go with Hamilkars suggestion, most of the time the simplest solution is the best. KISS (keep it simple stupid)

[digger303]

sounds like a plan

[Augustus]

Well the stupid fits so I might go with the rest of the plan!
