Default RE: Tamiya Tiger I Initial conversion

Thanks! The tracks are about 2 years old so they had a lot of natural weathering and wear and tear on them already. I first sprayed them lightly but more on the inside with Floquil US Sand. Then did washes of Dirt, Dust and US Earth Red. Then did very little dry brushing with gun metal on the outside. Of course, driving them around cleans off the cleats real quick.

Speaking of tracks Heavyslead, I've never seen the mirrored tracks on 501 Tigers and some of them should have had them. My guess is that they never left the factory with them on, they might have been saved for the 502 or just kept at the factory as spares. Other then your 100 in Gorky Park, I've never seen another Tiger with them, have you?
