Okay list, I promise...this will be my last request for help! Im working on a Tiger I, Late Version. Im at the point where it is time to paint and assemble the tracks/treads.
What IS the proper color for treads? My reflex is to paint them steel (bright) and then repaint them black, giving me the option of scraping the black paint to expose the underlying silvery steel. However, this feels too 'clean' and my objective is a 'working' Tiger. The Tiger will be sitting on a street in Carentan (prior to the 101st's attack) so the idea is that it has spent some time on the road (though given our air superiority, it would have been doing some interesting traveling).
So can anyone offer any suggestions or example photos?
Am I being too anal about this?
Cheers and Semper Fi,
