Thanks fellas, but after talking with a good friend and looking at it myself, I noticed it was a bit heavy handed and I didn't like the look. So I cleaned it up and decided to redo it.
Here are the redone pictures. It's just lightly applied.




Thoughts?

groups of 10 links becomes 50

Primed,

painted

Comparison with the AFV band tracks, Bronco indy links on top with the kit tracks below, both have been painted in the same colour, Tamiya Gun Metal

and finally, Installed!


Turret nearing completion

I know that at least part of the whole frame system by the Bren gun is wrong, and I really have no idea how the whole thing is supposed to work.

Seems that Daniel and Pawel have nearly cornered the market on Fine Interior detailing!!
Plus, great finishes, Tom and Iain!

Unfortunately, Daniel will find the bulkhead in front of the IR light will hide all his work. I started doing my interior until dry fitting showed me I didn't need to spend so much time on it.

That's probably true of most this series of half-tracks, regardless of brand....but at least he (and we) will know what a nice job is down there!
