Good work so far, I think the color is good, the photo’s look like faded Dunkelgelb or a French equivalent. I hope to someday at least once work with real metal tracks. Ive always wanted to but could never afford them. 

thanks! we will see!

 

regarding the metal tracks... yes and no, they are great, but as are the Tamiya injection ones! What I really like is the feel of the tracks when bending and wiggeling! As the hull is already metal on those models, additional weight is not really an added bonus :)

 

they are lots of work though!

 

but as are the rubberised road wheels! I really like painting those rubber bands :D

I only glued the sprocket by the way! all the rest is kinda loose! so be careful when handling it! ;)
