dragon 1/72 tracks

I just purchased a tiger and noticed that the tracks are riding too high and aren't making any contact with the rollers. Is there any way of correcting this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi 'boot,
have you tried them with a hair dryer and reshape them when they've soften sufficiently.

Good luck!

Re: dragon 1/72 tracks

nope. Would that even work without damaging them?

Shouldn't because the track is softer than the hull/turret and you don't need to the dryer pointed at it that long to get it heated enough to rework/stretch it enough to sit on the wheels.
