Smile Thanks for your comments and observations friends!. Well, really the tubes are not rusted and I not finished yet the weathering, hee,hee.

More updates:

This time I choice a simple technic for weathering the tracks. In the traction interior part I applied dry brush with "Polished steel" of Humbrol and the exterior part I applied resin Brown Earth of Vallejo and yellow ochre pigments and finally a dry brush with "Polished steel".

Regards!
Rodolfo

Hello friend, great to see these pics. I'm taking advice from them on my latest project. I'm now currently bogged down on these individual link tracks which are killing me. Tamiya ones I find to be much better. Thanks for sharing your awesome Tiger I.

Rodolfo, just wanted to send a pic of the Waffenträger I'm currently building. I'm pretty much going to give it a inner-city type weathering; chalky dust, and grime. BTW, loved how you did the tracks; the colour looks super!
