Re: Track links compete
Congratulations! I still have some modifications planned for my track set, so it'll be a long ways off until I can say the same for myself.
How did you choose to surface finish the aluminum parts? They look painted, but I'm thinking of using 'cold blue' to darken my set.

Re: Track links compete
I was thinking of doing the same to my Leopard as i did with my Tiger 1.

I used this product to blacken the tow cables, works great.
got inventive and dipped a set of Tiger tracks in, result, one set of rusted tracks not needing paint.
may do the same but will experiment with a link or two for concentration.

Hi, I wanted to get them darker than the bright aluminum.
I appreciate they will get dirty and take on a more natural color with time. Two coats of grey primer the two coats of dark grey acrylic rattle cans.
Thanks Martin.
