greetings,

I have Dragon's AIM Abrams. What is the best way to go about painting and finishing these magic tracks? do you paint after it is all assembled? or do you do them invidivdually? Or do you assemble sections at a time and finish them that way? Any info would be appreciated...thanks.

I build just a lower run that goes about 3/4 around the sprocket and 3/4 around the 1st road wheel, There is no need to do the whole top run since it won't be seen. I build the whole section of track and then paint and weather it before adding it to the tank.

thanks for the info. This is my first model in about a decade w/ deployments and college getting in the way. The last tracks I saw were the vinyl ones or the plastic kind still on the sprue. So far I like these, they seem easy to connect as I have been toying with them. And they connect just like the real thing.
