After a month of not getting much if anything done I got back to the bench last week and warped up the lower hull. Primarily used a wash of oil paints and some acrylics from True-Earth. Let me know what you all think.    Thanks For Stopping By! |

Yep, looking very good and glad to see this one is being continued.
Bye the way, those yellow parts on the tracks, never seen anyone do that before, is that something specific for this tank or set of tracks? And what is it for?

Thanks Everyone!! As for the yellow end connectors I'm really not sure what they are for but I would guess it has something to do with monitoring track ware and tension. Here is the one of the reference photos that show this.  |

Eric, thanks for that reference picture and explanation, really nice touch to the track on your tank, makes it really different, like I said, it is something I hadn't seen before.

I think they are markings for attaching the ice-growsers, that way the crew didn't have to count the track links to get the right placement  |

Thanks to Eric en Paul I now recognise the track markings on this picture: 
So I might be doing that when I build a M48 |
