Tracks are on .........  The only thing done to these tracks for color treatment was the soaking in the patina solution . I sanded off the patina in the wear areas to get the bright metal look . Any yellow crumbs observed are all thats left of 3 bags of Cheetos. ;D     Crunch ! |

Tracks look GREAT! Tell us how you like those tracks? Bet you love the heavy your JT is now after the tracks are added on. Same thing for my Tigers... making it easier for it to stay steady for weathering. LOL

Andy , Tracks are cool thats for sure . A lot sturdier than the plastic links type . Those always seem to be really fragile when i go to wrap them around the running gear . These things are brutes ! Nice n sturdy and flexible at the same time . And heavy for sure .  Gar , yes you do ! Have your sis haul you big bitts butt downtown and pick up some man ! ;D Joe , sorry bout the hunger gettin stirred up man .......MMMMM ! Cheeto's ! ;D Crunch ! |

That would look fantastic in a factory setting. A tank factory... not a Cheetos factory.

I tried to bring out the details on the running gear a little more with a pin wash of dark brown oils and a little drybrushing with a light gray enamel .   The jackblock is going to be long gone on these Berlin Jagd .  Both tow hooks will be left mounted . I used .025 styrene rod for the welds .  ;D |

Making your own wing-nuts definitely takes this one up a notch Carl, very nice. The added depth to the running gear looks good as does the work on the rear tools and details. Keep it coming!
