Hi there I'm realy glad you like the build so far!! .I'm having to build it faster than I would like as it's got to be running for this Sunday as we have the first meet at the Hyde scout hut ! So there will be some work left to do after the meet! Now the tracks on my tank are the standard heng long metal tracks! As you know there are silver to start off with! So to get rid of the silver I used a product called aluminium black! Gun smiths use it to blacken parts on guns .and when used on tank tracks it basically turns them a grey / black colour! After that I painted on revell aqua color rust/Matt number 36183 then I dry brushed on aqua color brown/Matt number 36185! Then I add tamiya xf59 desert yellow lightly dry brushing the tracks and then spreading it on the inside were the wheels would run! And that's it! Hope that helps!!jackeb wrote:Your attention to detail is stunning. I can't wait to see the finished article. I don't want to risk hijacking this fantastic build thread but I'd love to know how you weathered the tracks?
Like I said I can hardly wait for your next post.
