You can paint the tracks in a number of ways. My opinion on painting Russian tracks are not so different then if you were to apint another nations tracks. I paint my trackjs in a few different ways. The first way is to paint the tracks using Model Masters Schokoladenbraun (RAL 8017) enamel paint. It is a nice reddish brown color, followed by a wash of a mixture of black and burnt sienna. Drybrushed with steel and or rust and rust pastels. Another way that I paint my tracks is using a mixture of Tamiya Flat Black and Flat Earth, 20% to 80% ratio respectively. Followed by the same washing and drybrushing as I stated above. I have had good results with these.

Carlos,

They are all metal so just paint them the same way that you would a set of 3 bar cleat or metal chevron tracks for the Sherman.
