Terry,
outstanding looking track...
Are you trying to make us all look bad, or does it just come naturally?
:blush: :blush: :blush:
I guess I need to get started on mine. ;)

Re:Terry's M113 "LETS MAKE TRACKS "LETS PAINT"

With most if not all the parts on the track it's time to start painting. I have started by putting on a coat of dark green. Next a overspray coat of Olive Drab then some panel shading with lighter colors of green. I went ahead and did some detail painting the commanders cupola. Next I will give her coat of clear before any washes or decals. Here what it looks like now. Comments and questions welcome.

Re:Terry's M113 "LETS MAKE TRACKS' "10th CAVALRY"

Well folks the painting continues with adding the markings for this track. I decided on markings for the 10th Cavalry 4th Infantry Division. I could use some of the kit decals, but the rest would need to be painted on. Also I have done some more detail painting and weathering. No tracks yet because I have new AFV Club tracks on the way. Here are some update pictures of the work so far. Thanks for looking and always questions and comments are welcome.

But that model is AWESOME!
