Panzer Aces No.37

Tracks that are poorly finished can greatly reduce the appearance of a completed model. In fact it is the tracks that I often view first to quickly start forming an understanding of the overall authenticity and level of skill put into the finishing of a completed model. This rather short article is to demonstrate the various techniques that I have put together over the past years to quickly and accurately finish the tracks on an armor model. You will find most of these techniques to be quite simple, employ inexpensive products and are rather enjoyable to apply. It is important to note that earth tones can vary in different locations. This article will show both the mediums and techniques I use to effectively weather track. I strongly recommend that you study photos of the terrain in the theater where your replica is supposed to be in order to accurately mix the various colors for both the dry and wet terrain.
