OK.Here is the first serie of shots for painting of tracks thread.I used some scanned pics from some articles on a tank paint in SuperModel magazine.Although these were about T-34 and some German tanks.The pics are suitable for Panzer modelling.

Wow Wojtek, awsome tutorial man.... Thank you...

Questions...

Since my tracks came as silver rubber, do we still start with the same first step???

Since my tracks are yet to be installed, I can do this work with them taped to my cardboard spray board??? Both sides?

Concerning your questions.
1. I think you can skip the first step.
2. I don't know how your ruber tracks are flexible.There is always a possiblilty of a paint peeling when these are bending or stretching.But it seems that if you put very thin layers of colours everything should go well.

BTW these tracks have to be washed up with warm water and soap or some drops of a liquid for cleaning dishes before painting.

THX Alex.

Dan, all parts of any model should be washed up by having "a bath". It removes all dirt,dust and fat of your fingers for instance.It also lets a paint to be better sticked to the surface.Of course when these pieces are cleaned and dry you should avoid touching them with dirt fingers etc...

Why is this weekend gonna be stressful ?
