Hi all,

I'm after some advice from all you sherman experts out there.
I'm currently working on the Academy IDF M-51 Super Sherman
and am after advice on what color to do the tracks
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jurgen:
I don' t have the Academy M51 kit. If the kits tracks look like these then they were rubber with metal end connector:

If Academy has these, then they should be weathered steel:

There was another type of track that could be fit but I don't think Academy did them. It was another all steel type
