Dragon's individual tank tracks.

Trim off all the pins, then cement the links together. When dry (do it in sections) cement the guide teeth to the links so they overlap two links. Not the most graceful solution but it does work and makes life easier. You will need a straight edge to ensire they don't "snake" during assembly.

You may want to order some Panda (ex-RHPS) sets and keep them on hand. They are single links and go together in a similar manner, but have longer pins and friction fit so go together easier and faster (you can paint on some liquid cement when in place to "set" them).

is Part 2 of a 6 part video on building a Mark IV panzer It's in japanese but what you want is pretty obvious Using double sided tape. Start at about 4:08 of the video

Lay a section of links out dry-fit on a length of Scotch tape, put that section of track in place on the tank and position it as you wish for tread sag, etc. - then spot glue the *links* to each other in place using liquid cement and a 00 artists brush...or a hypo, if you have one.

You can work in sections for the top, ends, and bottom...choose a length that's easy for you to work with. Remove the tape and paint the tread sections once each is dry/set...then glue up the whole tread assembly in place on the tank.

Hah. Found a solution for the springy Italeri vinyl tracks. Use a wire loop to hold down the curve/loop at each end where the tracks wrap around the sprocket drive and the idler wheel. Approximate positions will do. Immerse the track(s) in a cup of hot water. The vinyl will soften first then harden as the hot water cools. The hardened track will hold the curves. This relieves the pressure on the boogies. The tank will now sit level.
