Terry,
outstanding looking track...
Are you trying to make us all look bad, or does it just come naturally?

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.
