I have a very nice set of photoetched track links that goes with my panzer IV in 1/72nd scale. I would like to know, what is the best way to glue these links together on the model itself and still make the kit look good?

I have noexperience of what you are asking -especially in something as tiny as 1/72 - but I have found that the only decent glue for PE is CA. If you are want time for position them or make a sag then I would suggest the CA gel it gives a few more seconds to work than the thin runny stuff.

Jody, I give you credit for attemping this.
I can't even picture myself attempting 1/72 scale indy track links of any type. But I would go along with Bilko, about the gel type CA. Good luck, and hopefully we'll get to see a finished photo........
