I got the MIG '73 Sand Grey applied as well as all the company/platoon markings. I just have to broaden the ID stripe on top of the turret. I painted the DS tracks with Vallejo Track primer and joined them with ÇA glue. I glued on just the inside wheels and then put the tracks on because I didn't want to chance breaking any of the teeth off. After the tracks were mounted I then glued on the outer wheels and rollers. Post shading will be next.

Small update on the M50 as I got the skunk stripe ID band painted on the turret. I used some spare black stripes from the decal spares box to create the border. I also outlined the platoon ID and tank # on the turret with a black .03 Micron Ink Pen. Lastly, I installed the front fenders as I saved those for last so I could get the DS tracks on.

Paul, Pete, Bert---thank gents! Bert, the Sherman really grew on me after building a few, myself. The M50s and -51s are really amazing because they were still going head to head with T-62s and T-55s all the way through to '73.
