Vallejo Track Primer is also a great color for tracks. Track Primer also ranks as one of the best inventions since Hot Pockets.
Best wishes,
Ian

Thank you Ian. I'll keep that in mind I've taken a few photos on a different camera to see if they look any better than my previous efforts. A few more shots of the turret. There is more details to be added after the interior has been painted. Well, they don't look any better to me

Thank you Pete and Robbo. I'm happy enough with the paint colour of the metal areas of the tracks now. Hopefully, I'll put the tracks on the hull tomorrow after the paint has dried. Then I can post another photo. Thanks for all all your messages. Joe.

Many thanks Paul, Duke, Ian, and Boots. The next stage is the painting of the sponsons, ammunition, and the ammunition racks. I'll paint these following the advice from my learned friend, Paul. Incidentally, the assembled model on the Tamiya site, has the same areas painted green in the interior, as correctly pointed out to me. This is contrary to the colours called out in the kit instructions. Thank you, Paul for your help and advice.

Thanks awfully chaps. The tracks were simple after the advice about the paint. Just a quick update. I've temporarily attached the ammunition racks to the sponsons with white glue to make spraying the white easier (I hope). There are no clear location holes when fitting them together. Unusual for Tamiya I'm thinking, or maybe it's me just being a knobber. I'll take them apart again to paint the shells. Not really looking forward to that bit, Oh hum.
