I am getting ready to finish my Tamiya Sherman. All I have left to do is apply the treads, and glue the plastic spare links on the hull. As a result of another post, I feel I have been talked out of springing the extra money and effort for individual link tracks. So, my question now is: what colors should I paint the rubber tracks, and what do I use to paint them. I assume the tracks should not just be left black.

Im in the same boat as you and have found this thread very helpfull.
