I've painted tracks. I've started from all black, then red brown XF-64 for pins and horns, then steel color for inner side of horns and for pins and finally - rubber black for rubber parts (inner and outer). It's not a final look - I'll apply washes and pigments as well. Any suggestions are very welcome.

I've painted pioneer tools before applying filters. For metallic black color I've used a very dark gray mixed with Vallejo's metallic medium. Wooden parts will be improved with oils later (after a final varnish I think).

Also, I've made some chipping, but not much, because these tanks was very well primed and painted.

Thank you guys for your comments!

I've applied filters - green, umber and ivory oils were used (I made filters and washes by myself with oils and Tikkurila 1050 white spirit). I know - maybe it's not so clearly visible on this low quality WIP photos, but believe me 🙂 After that I've applied a gloss varnish layer for decals and washes.

Great build Dmitry, those Tamiya 1/48s are a welcome change, especially for dioramas .
I just wish I could build as quick.

Amazing work. Can't wait to see it finished. Very nice.

Weathering. I've started with tinting using oils and white-spirit. Next step - streaks and pigments. Tracks assembled too.

Looks great Dmitry. I can just barely see the streaks which is a good thing.

Looks amazing Dmitry, I like the smoke around the end of the gun barrel,nice touch.
