Amazingly the parts all seem to fit as well - so far!

For a change of scene on this kit, I started working on bringing the tracks and wheels to life with the Crusader tank part of the IBG Scammel Pioneer Tank Transporter kit. Firstly the tracks were given an overall brush paint of rust paint. It will require further weathering once dry but for now it is good!

Next, using my usual method of dilute brown paint I coated the outer surfaces of the wheels with it which certainly brings out the details. The picture below shows the brown paint still wet but once dry the effect becomes more subtle.

With both sets of tracks painted and the outer wheels washed in dilute brown paint, the next stage is to let it all dry before doing the inside surfaces!

In the meantime I temporally put the partially built cab on the chassis which looks good. Amazingly the parts all seem to fit as well - so far!
