Anyone in the UK with spare Doppelsoldner tracks?

Please, is there anyone in the UK with more Doppelsoldner tracks than they need who might be willing to sell me a set? I have three tanks from the previous project, but only the two sets of tracks from this project, and I wasn’t going to back at a higher level just for those.

Are these the tracks that didn't fit and so SJG replaced them with some new tracks? Have you emailed them to see if they can provide a proper set?

I sent you a private message.

Is that why set 4 has a set of 4 dopp front tracks? Thought I was missing a tank.

Correct. On Minis Set #3 (The Mk. VI and the Doppelsoldner) it was discovered after the fact that the front tread sets for the Dopp were of the same length as the rear tread sets. An oops oversight that no one caught until product had shipped. To make good on that, SJG then said they would include the "repair parts" in Minis Set #4.

I fixed my Dopps in about ten minutes time each, it wasn't hard if you are a long time modeler, but it shows the SJG commitment to quality and customer service that they pursued the fix at (likely) no small expense to themselves.
