I’m in the process of building dragons 1/72 Sd.Kfz 184 Ferdinand. And now its time to paint the tracks, the directions say to paint them steel. is this righ? Could somebody please help me. [B)]

The tracks are steel when they are factory fresh. But for that great weathered look that everybody loves, it is best to paint them another color first. I use burn sienna dry brushed with steel and then a very dark colored wash.

WATCH OUT for which paint you use. You have to use a water based like Tamiya or it will hav e achemical reaction to the tracks and not dry. IT gets really sticky and ruins them. Base coat them in tamiya, then paint away with your favorite colr. Bill
