Track Maker
Trumpeter Master Tools Track Maker is an assembly jig for individual track links from kits of tanks and other tracked vehicles. The blue aluminium body carries a 150 mm scale and a sliding part with a black knob.
The Track Maker, labelled on the package as an Assembly Jig for Track Links, belongs to Trumpeter's Master Tools range of hobby tools. It is a jig for assembling individual-link tracks such as those supplied with kits of tanks, self-propelled guns and other tracked vehicles. Assembling a track from dozens of tiny links is one of the more time-consuming stages of an armour build, and the jig helps keep it orderly.
According to Trumpeter, the blue body is made of aluminium alloy. A groove whose profile holds the track links runs along one side, next to a 150 mm scale. The sliding part with a large black knob can be adjusted by up to 30 mm. A useful tool for modellers who build armour with individual-link tracks.
