Re: Saved by the bell...
can I ask you what you did to paint and weather your tracks , I'm about to do it myself ,thanks.
Re: Saved by the bell...
Painted them red brown/earth brown with a brush on the low parts.
When dry apply a thinned mix of humbrol sand wash that sits in some of the holes.
Run gun metal over with a cloth.

Re: Saved by the bell...
Some years ago I bought a pair of Heng Long Metal Tracks for a Panzer 4, they were a lovely shiny silver ,
I headed into "Halfords" they were selling a metal staining product which was easy to apply and to this day the tracks have retained their stain,
It might be worth checking them out if you are darkening Metal Tracks.
