Well thanks for the support chaps  . Yes as many have said, these companies should just stick to bog standard tracks, be glue-able indies or link and length or rubber bands. It's is annoying when the kit tracks just disintegrate when putting them together. Anyway, just had a relaxing 2 hours pinning the Frillies with 3 pints of beer  .   |

Those tracks do like excellent. Much better to use those than those kit things you had to deal with.

Thanks chaps, before I buy another Border kit I shall defo check the reports on the tracks first  . Running gear is now on and the side skirts have also been added, the road wheels will get a pin wash around the bolts later. If you're wondering why the running gear is a different colour to the skirt, it's because the wheels have already had a wash with AK Africa Dust . The lower sides of the turret have been painted with an off-white colour, this will be masked tomorrow and then I'll get the main colour on    |

Ian, Joe, Guy, thank you kindly fellas . This is where I'm at now, main paint job done  . Vallejo Light stone 71.143 was first, then I highlighted that with Vallejo 71.270 white, which is in fact not white but more ivory. The camo colour SSC 1a, was made of Tamiya Flat Brown XF-10 7parts and Flat Black XF-1 2 parts. Thanks to Mike Starmer for that mix . Next up is glossing and then stickers    |
