Lovely John . I must admit those Dragons rubber tyres are a pain to clean up, but the good side is you can leave one or two off. That will allow you show just the rim which makes for a lovely worn running gear . That is what I did with Panzer IV Ausf. D a few years ago

It looks very nice. I might give it a try. What color did you use for the worn part ?

Cheers John. If I remember rightly, I used a pencil and rubbed this against the bare plastic to replicate shiny metal.

It's from Lifecolor Israeli Army Combo Set, they have 901 IDF Sandgrey 1 , 903 IDF Sandgrey 2 and 903 IDF Green. Also 3 Pigments, Golan Dark Earth, Sinai Sand and Lebanon Dust.
I've used these colors on my Merkava's and Magach's, very nice match. Highly recommend these sets.

Track cleaning, I don't like doing this.

That was enough I'd say, those tracks are enough for a week

Those tracks would have given me a right bloody headache, figuratively and literally!

Today's work, only worked on 3 Builds this afternoon,
Special Hobby Tempest II 1:32nd scale,
Painting the details, this side needs some weathering, light chipping and the Quinta Studio's 3D parts.
Here too, it will need some weathering.
Started the other side, carefully looking at the kit's and Quinta's instructions ( kit has i33 and i34 but Quinta's has i32 and i31 ) The parts are very similar, maybe the Tempest II and Typhoon V share some parts here, that might be the confusion, I don't know.
Here I still have to check and double check what needs clean up for the Quinta's parts.
Here we have again some resin bits,
But here I have to go back sub-assemblies 6 and 7 , work with more Resin and PE .... Have to plan this assembly carefully.
Bronco's small GAZ , finished painting the canvas,
and... removed the masking tape... I'll have some clean up to do here...damn. I hate when this happens.
Dragon IDF M50 , Painting some bits that I forgot from the running gear and also the search light.
That's it for today. Hope you enjoy.

Pity about that windscreen but I am sure you will be able to clean it up.
