They look sharp, you find the detail better than the Friuls?
Nice shading Tony. 
James this is my first experience too and I didn't know what to expect as well.
I tested mixing Vallejo,Mr Color Leveling and LifeColor thinners because I didn't have any of the AMMO thinner.
None of them turned the paint to goo but the Mr.Color I think is a little hot because there was a slight
separation of the color pigment, nothing earth shattering but I could see pigment particles when I pulled the mix up the side of the mixing cup.
I used the LifeColor thinner for the job just because the bottle was still on the paint booth table and handy,I held my breath and started spraying(about 20 to 30% thinner mix). Lo and behold the coverage was good and also smooth.
Before you start shaking the bottles make sure the cap is on tight,one of mine was not :facepalm
NO Complaints from me

Looking good Tony.
I have to admit that I have never thinned the Mig colors but I think they are comparable to the Vallejo paints.
Model Master thinner will most likely work on these as well .
The MR.color and Tamiya thinners are good for their combined brands but not aware that they are useful for others .

Oops, the connection at work was really slow. I was inquiring about the tracks. The Ammo of Mig paint on the other hand , well I've had some great luck and I've had a few instances of bad luck. Over all I like it. Love your paint job by the way.
Anyways thoughts on the tracks?

Thanks Tony. I remember that now. So far I have the kit tracks, some after market plastic tracks and fruils for my BMP. The fruils have a dimple where you have to drill the track and the metal seems harder than usual. I have a set of these coming now ands I hope they will be easier and I can finish the darned thing. Appreciate the link and refresher.
