Good Morning everybody
I have been working on a Tiger for the past few weeks. I have gone with the Dak colour scheme and I am very pleased with the way things are working out. My question today is what to do with the tracks. They are metal tracks but are currently shinny and silver. On my previous models the metal tracks have been black and I know that I can use a chemical process to turn these tracks black but I dont think that black tracks would look correct on a DAK Vehicle. If I paint the tracks will the paint just chip away to nothing thru use?
Any body got any tips regarding what colours to use but also technique to colour the tracks
Thanks in Advance
Glyn

Re: DAK Vehicle tracks
If you have ever seen a vehicle after a sandstorm you would be looking at something that has just been blasted free of paint,
The tracks of a Tank in North Africa would be very shiny in the day but in the early morning would have the beginnings of a rust coating because they would very quickly lose any colour due the abrasive effects of the sand and rocks.

I think I am about to upset someone 
Re: DAK Vehicle tracks
Thank you for that. Think I will try to go for a light rust coating.
