I hope this gets you solidly hooked on the armor bug lol.

I love the finish on it. You did a great job and I'm glad you experimented as you did. Even if you didn't like the results and decided to change it, you still learned something and produced a solid display piece in the end.

Well done!  :)

Unfortunately the tracks are all of the above.  They are glued to the road wheels and the return rollers as they did not conform very well without it.  They are also glued into the rear sprockets as they seemed to "float" otherwise.  

 

All is well though.  It was a learning experience and I did learn from it.  The cammo was a challenge and learned a few how to's as well as how not to's.  Thank you all for looking in and all the information.

Well, discounting the track SNAFU, the finish looks great. A nice looking model!

I hate those rubber band tracks---give me some individual links any day. I wish someone would come out with a simple NON-WORKABLE set of M48-M60 tracks, I mean, how hard could it be?

Many thanks.  Definitely looking at more armor at this point.
