Looking great!
I'm running mine the kit sprockets but if they ever fail, I'll used the HL Pershing ones, thanks for the tip!

À question, I see yours tracks look freshly painted, paint went off on mine after using it outdoor, do you have a secret to not get the Grey plastic showing through?

See what I mean? I did not even had the time to do the weathering on the tracks

I used a matt black auto paint for base color

Thank you Luis, gonna try that. I used tamiya acrylics and it's obviously not strong enough.
Did not know Parkside had spray paints!

MonsieurTox: I don't know if the grey plastic of the track cleats looks too different from fresh metal, but in the photo the tracks appear just right to me. Any tracks run on cobblestones or other hard surface will show just such wear.

Yeah the gray it's not too bad on the chevrons (I think it's not the gray plastic yet but the primer for now), but I'm not a huge fan of the rest, all those chips, and it's only one run, this means most of the paint will came off in 3 or 4 runs. Gonna try some tougher paints. I'm not against some wears on the tracks, but not as much. Maybe just some dust would do the trick though !
