Hi all

Tamiya says that the tracks should be painted with X-10 (gun metal), is this the correct colour for the challenger 1?

Or should I rather use flat black or nato black with gun metal highlights/drybrushing?

Thanks
John

I think I would go the second route. Straight gunmetal would look pretty on a brand new one that has never been outdoors but the shine would be lost rather quickly to the elements.
