I have heard all you have to do is edit the photo in your computer or crop it a little then do the attachment and it will appear correctly.

Here's another attempt at uploading a photo.

It shows the idler axle after removing 2mm inward toward the hull. Now, the tracks run center to the track horns. The tracks no longer ride onto the road wheels.

Engine deck...three types of primer. I just started using Upol on some aluminum parts. It’s very high quality I like it a lot. The fan nozzle on the upol is different and takes some getting used to.

Brilliant idea!

All I did was paint them lightly with a black primer, wait a few seconds, and wipe off excess paint. Makes it look worn but I'll be the vinegar works better. If so, I'll try it on mine (even painted, it should still react).

That looks good. I think I will be doing the same. Did you leave them in the vinegar for 24 hours?
