Ty to all , this has been one bear of a project , I am so glad to finally paint it ! JKeller I always paint after all details have been installed, a piece or 10 may come off during that but nothing that cannot be fixed , I do however paint trax seperate , then reinstall , they are only on here for a test fit to check for correct sag ( which one side is too tight right now ) the idler wheels are also not on yet , I want to paint those seperate as well as the large wheels which are only superglued in place as of now , so its time to spray it all black , then panzergrey , and then the real fun begins with weathering !
