Thks.

hi digger

You can stick very small pins to the side of the hull to hold down the tracks. I had seen this technique in a modelling magazine. You then creatively hide the pin with weathering,ie, mud,static grass,etc.
You could also sand away the paint on the wheels and flatten the wheels (the tops) a weee bit b4 supergluing the tracks on.

Thanks, will try sanding off the wheel. I suppose that not enough surface contact area for the glue to work.

Thks. Excellent representation of tracks weighing down on the Jagdpanther's wheels.
