Judging from the pics I've seen the more tan tone in your pic is closer Jeffer .

I dunno why I said Buff earlier as the main component  (could have something to do with me talking to Buff expert earlier in the year) , but what I meant was Deck Tan. Please forgive me oh wise one Iamatanker guru  . |

You are forgiven, Lad. Just don't let it happen again.  .....  Buff Expert. That's funny.  Well, after messing around a bit, I came up with this. 2 parts XF-55 DECK TAN to 1 part XF-78 Wooden Deck Tan.   Looks pretty close, I think. AAACW |

Paul,sorry your Back is giving you fits. If ever comes the time for a new bench, I'm giving serious thought to one of those PC type benches. The one that you can change the height of. So you can stand or sit. Pete. Thanks, Dude. I knew that about Brian. Boots, Ta Mush. This is pretty nice Deck Tannage also.  Carl, yup I do. I keep forgetting it isn't a Dragon kit. Should have a pretty good update later in the day. |

Yeah right, Marco. Made some good progress yesterday and this morning. Added this color to my inventory. Now I don't have to rob my NATO black anymore.  Looks good, I think.  Poly caps in place and the wheels put together.   Return rollers got some steel.  Wheels and sprockets mounted.  Track links cut and trimmed up. That was a chore. More on that later. That's it for now. Maybe do some track runs this afternoon. AAACW |

Thank you too much, Gents. So lets talk tracks.  I've never used MiniArt tracks before but they were not that expensive so I was interested in how good they were. All in all I liked them very much. Highly detailed, went together well, fit the Drive Sprocket perfectly and the suggested link count of 90 per side was just right. The only thing I can say bad about them is it was a lot of work getting them off the sprue and ready to use. Too much cutting and trimming for my taste  Ready to install.  On, sagged, trigged and drying.   More tomorrow. AAACW. |
