The Trumpeter Track Maker 009967 is an essential tool for scale model enthusiasts who want to achieve realistic, uniform tank tracks without the frustration of manual alignment. It is specifically designed to hold individual track links in place, allowing for consistent spacing and tension during the gluing process, though it does require patience and a steady hand to set up each individual link correctly.

It is primarily designed for 1:35 scale, though it may be compatible with other scales depending on the link dimensions.
No, glue must be purchased separately. Tamiya Extra Thin Cement is recommended.
Yes, it is designed to be a permanent addition to your toolkit for multiple projects.
This tool is intended for plastic injection-molded tracks and may not be suitable for heavy metal links.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the pieces in a dedicated box to prevent warping.
Ensure you are using a controlled amount of glue and avoid getting excess cement on the jig frame; consider using a quick-drying liquid cement.
Double-check the tension and alignment of the jig rails before applying glue to the next section of links.
To begin, ensure your workspace is clean and flat. Assemble the jig components according to the included manual to suit the scale of your tracks. When placing links, work in small sections to prevent the glue from drying prematurely. For care, avoid getting excess liquid cement on the jig itself, as this can mar the plastic surface and affect future alignment. If cement builds up on the contact surfaces, gently scrape it off with a hobby knife once fully cured to ensure the jig remains level.
