I got a Dragon T-80UD which i'm about to assemble. I'm wondering if anyone could tell how to make the tracks look more realistic. Should i paint it flat black first, then dry brush it with
gun metal? I had a tiger 1 which i built years ago, tracks looks so bad after i have painted it, so i would like to know more before i make the same mistake. thanks

Dark brown for Russian tracks, then give it a black wash and highlight by dry brushing with tans.
