Now the weathering starts will dirty it up a bit before I add the side skirts on it and turret skirt too.

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.

Nice work on the tracks Allan. they will look even better once mounted.

Almost done.

Wow thats looks great Allan, you have done an excellent job with the paint work.
Overall very impressive hi5

[bodgybro]

for what is considered a 'messy' paint job, there's a lot of clean work in that, nice job

[B61 MACK]

Thank's Sandboarder, Bodybro, I am surprise how good it has turned out yes! looking forward to the Panther next.
There is a lot of work to do on this one yet.

Painted the tyres nato black, put a bit a black pastel on the sides of the bottom hull, hit it all with dull coat, looks better & paint the side skirts with camo, tyed to put track on knocked off front cog glued it back on. will have another go later after coffee yes!

Small hick up with this one looks like the gun skirts stops one from putting it back on the top hull, looks like its fouling on the spare wheels if i can not work it out will leave it off.

Been looking on the web for built up Panzer IV looks like the spare wheels should of been left off before one put the gun turret skirt on I well will leave it off as it will be to hard to remove the wheels yes!
