[B61 MACK]

Few more bits to put on will leave side skirts off untill body paint and skirts for gun turret too.
Got to work out how to paint rubber tracks to look like metal, back to u tube for that.

[B61 MACK]

Just airbrushed the track in Titanium silver X32 as a base colour will use some of my dry pastels to dirty it up the hit it with dull coat.

[B61 MACK]

Well what do you think the track in top of photo looking the part, got to dry brush the raised bit of track with a metal paint.

[B61 MACK]

Well is almost done, the under coat is on it will give it a day or to harden, then the fun starts.

Good to see you progressing along well with this build Allan.

The black base will help bring some depth to the other colour coats, showing us how it done mate hi5

There will be flat white painted in patches to give lighter tone under that dark yellow.

[B61 MACK]

Were I got the idea to put nato black down first been watching a lot builds on U-Tube by Andy's Hobby Headquarters, looked like a easy way to paint a tank watched others too.

[B61 MACK]

Here is how I weathered the track, The track is black rubber so It was painted it Tamiya Titanium silver X-32 once dryed I used a small stiff brush and dry Pastels that I had, i put Windsor & Newton Raw Sienna tint 1 first followed by Schmincke Sepia brown the two colours give you a muddy look, then I put a coat of Testors Dullcote on it then I dry brushed Vallejo Model Color Oily steel on the raise parts. In the photo I am doing the inside of the track I had to put a coat of dullcoat on first as the pastel need something to stick to.

[B61 MACK]

Put the dark yellow on this one and wanted some light shading on it so I lighten the yellow with flat white, here is the out come.

Top photo colour outside bottom one inside, don't know if i go with the green and brown still on it,
