Thanks Herman, trying to make it look a little weary with some battle damage and the odd extra. Fixing the rear hull sides , no ZIM and taking a bits of Zim off to indicate hits then add some brown XF90 to convert to try colour camo
Lighter and craft knife to blend in the rear hull side into the ZIM.

Easy option is leaving the track link holders empty , made up the clamps with no locking pins ( loops ) and have them slightly folded down.
Some primer splatter but easily fixed
