Default Custom Jagdpanther

Its not RC but maybe it will give others ideas for their bigger 1/16 versions. Its a diecast metal 1/35 Minichamps Jagdpanther I just finished. The paint work is custom mixed Model Master enamels shot through an IWATA airbrush. I added spare roadwheels and a metal antennea. The decals are by Microscale. The tracks are seperate working links made from metal. The suspension is working torsion bars just like the real thing.

I know it looks wrong with silver tracks. I havent figured out a way to darken them without painting them. Paint would get between the links and flake off when the tracks rotate. I tried gun blueing acid but it doesnt take to the alloy they used in the tracks. Anybody got any ideas??
