The non slip coating was done with 2 coats of Tamiya Texture Paint (Grit Effect, Light Sand) I left 36hrs between coats it was brushed on then I tidied up the raised areas if any got on. I am happy with the result as the chally 2 anti slip is sprayed on so doesn't stand as much as other tanks.

Top of turret finished tried metal tracks and final drive and idle wheels from DKLRMC but they where a nightmare had to leave final drive wheel quite slack and 1 idler wheel kept unscrewing itself the whole lot sound like it was going to RIP all the plastics bits to shreds so back to plastic but never mind that here is the turret top,

Right sorted the track problem the final drive wheels needed 2 washers inbetween as with out they to close together and where trapping the track between the toothed half's everything runs smooth now don't know if anyone else has had this problem with the DKLMRC challenger 2 metal tracks and wheels?
