This has been bugging my brain for a while.... when you've painted the tracks and you run your tank wont the paint come off?

Hi Victor,
Yes it will, but it will wear off on the bits of the tracks that get most wear on a real tank - where the treads contact the ground, where the sprockets engage in the tracks and to a lesser extent where the idlers and roadwheels contact the inside of the tracks.
Assuming the tracks were silver/grey before you painted them, they will start to look as if you have real steel tracks with the bare metal showing through a light coating of rust.
How are you getting on with it?
