Yes, I know 9602 was a male MkV*. I needed to test build the female sponson as well as the male, so I made one of each. Also, the left male sponson is a bit different from the right one, but close enough for a beta.
The track links are similar to those in my Gun Carrier, but wider (26.5").
I included the small splice plates at joints and the usual disks and such as detail parts in the model, but did not put all of them on this beta.
I made the unditching beam rails as true "angles", L-shaped in cross-section. Each is made of two pieces, the top flange and the vertical web, which have to be glued together. The rail, when assembled, looks totally weird, but it fits well on the supports and hangers. When finished, it is surprisingly sturdy.
