Greetings
My latest build is a Panzer II (the old Tamiya kit). I plan on using it in building my very first diorama. The scene will depict the vehicle and some infantrymen attempting to flank an Allied position in North Africa. My question is on painting the tracks. The all-metal tracks on the Panzer II would have been worn down to bare metal in no time as it maneuvered thru the sand. What colors and techniques would you suggest to get the bright metal look? Any commits would be greatly welcomed.
