I am using a set of rubber band tracks for my M-47,in painting are there any precautions to make sure it sticks.I gave them a good washing and scrubbing,and I plan to paint with tamiya paint,should this work ?

Well, yeah it should work. But what I can just recommend is: forget the rubber band tracks and get yourself some nice single-piece plastic, resin, or even better: metal tracks. I know its another price league but it's totally worth it...

If not, okay as well: would recommend some primer on the rubber ones before the actual paint is applied.

Yes I know,I usually like to use friuls,I also like DML DS tracks,I actually tried AFV Club workables for this one,but they were a disaster ,the ones that didnt break coming of the sprues,broke during assembly,massive cleanup of each track required,just too frustrating.So i don't want to drop more money on friuls.so I will soldier on with the kit supplied tracks.

Thanks for the help :
