Well,the Panzer Colours books I have somewhere in my stash,it would take a long while to find them back in my messy organised book collection.
Not 100% sure,but I think this could be the one also seen in one of the Panzer Colours books. (picture from the net for discussion purpose only)
Don't be shy to use mud 'n dirt on armour models. :laugh:
Gr,Ron.

I didn't like the "unsmart" tracks provided with this kit so I used Friul metal ones.
There are also replacement sprocket wheels with better detail then the Dragon ones in the Friul kit,so I decided to use them as well.
Test fitting;
After a bath of vinegar,I cleaned up the tracks in Burnishing Fluid;
Tracks after Track Wash and a bit of Metal pigments,more weathering will follow;
Sprocket wheels from Friul in Surface primer above the Dragon ones that I will not use;
Crew members from Dragon's Sturmartillery crew,I replaced the heads by Hornet ones.
Luc Klinkers was nice enough to sculpt a sheep skin jerkin on the commander of the "Beob".(thanks Luc!)
More to come later...if I find the time for it that is.

Great job on the friuls, I know what you went through to get them built, I got a set but refuse to do it, yet. Just a matter of time.
Looking good Ron, glad you found some bench time.

Wow! That looks sharp. Great work.
However, it reminded me that I just put the kit's drive sprockets on my Academy M113A1 APC. I have a set of Friulmodel tracks for it as well that comes with the sprockets. Damn. I see a trip to the "chop shop" in my future. The finished product is awesome, but I'm not looking forward to assembling them. I've done some for a Tiger and a Panther, which were twice as big as the ones for the ACAV.
