New to armor (usually build a/c kits) and wondering if anyone has a preferred way of painting plastic track links during the build, specifically around sequencing.
I feel like I'm maybe overcomplicating things but I've been building the lower chassis, wheels, etc., then priming and painting (wheels, etc.), attaching painted tracks (I'm generally talking about the plastic kind that's built up in sections, not the nicer single piece rubber type), then masking the whole lower section off.
Is there a simpler way? Or is this kind of it? Just feels odd to have to paint the finish in effectively two different phases.
