Pz III command tank

[Bagge]

Here is my start pic, been busy with moving but now i have some benchtime again :dance

Just for making it more a challange, the 2 pots with Friul tracks (left & right) fell out in the box while moving so now it's first sorting that out :pinch:

 

[SA Dave]

You dont do anything the easy way do you
Good luck with the sorting

 

[Bagge]

Why do it easy when there is a hard way
Just finnished sorting them out and started to clean them up.
Use needles instead of the soft thread provided by friul for the linkpins

what fluid you will use for blackening tracks? And what fluid you use for rust?

Roman, i will use the burnishing agent for Friul tracks from Uschi van der Rosten, i never tried it before so it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

The rust is something i picked up in a hobbystore it is some metall powder with 2 fluids to start a rust reaction, otherwise i mostly paint the rust or use real rustpowder (let some metal in water and then scrape off the rust and dust it on the model (or paint with humbrol rust and then powder ontop before it dries :cheer:

Thanks guys for following along, not much action right now but i hope to get the tracks done tonight :S

Mats,the best thing to do before you use the U vd R fluid,is to wash your tracks with vinegar.
I've washed and scrubbed the tracks with dishwater on my T34/76 'Chtz' tank with disasterous results.

Looking forward to the next steps.

Greetings,Ron.

Thanks for the heads up Ron!
The tracks where first cleaned with vinegar (or azijn, as they call it in Netherlands).
so here is the startup

Mix one bottle of agent with one bottle of water and then in goes the tracks :geek

Used an toothbrush to scrub the agent in to the tracks and get the airbubbles out.

here you see the difference after a couple of minutes in the agent.

Out of the bath and cleaned off under running water to get the tracks clean of the agent.

Just had to try them on before closing down tonight

nothing else done to the tracks, just a bath :coolio
