So it was able to take the paint without destroying it, good, that's what I will do then. Thank you.

Ooh nice tracks!!
Ostketten?
Really does look nice. I have enquired about one but it's just too much to swallow at the moment. I'll probably get something else instead.

So, if you're not happy with your paint work, you start again.
And then you get a better (in my opinion) job. I didn't leave separation between the colors before and I felt I needed to correct it. So what do you think, before or after?
Before
After

Thank you. It might be an illusion, but it looks like it has a lower profile.

Tracks painted and installed. Almost there, now for the dreaded weathering, I'm not very good at this part. Also, you can't use the track armor, except for the two center panels, with these tracks. I like the tracks however, very light for metal tracks and they fit and run very well.

Those tracks are tuff looking eh !
I will look for pictures but I thinks yours might be on backwards.
Got pics somewhere that might confirm either way.
I reckon those Winterketten tracks add a certain presence to the normally narrow look of the Pz III,IV series.
Maybe because we are so used to looking at Tigers, Panthers and Kings.
