I picked this Super Blue up cheap at the local Walmart. Worked great for the tracks on this T90. I poured the entire container into a glass baking dish and put the tracks in. I used an artist brush to ensure everything was coated.

Burchwood does a good job of blackening the tracks. They end up with a nice black dark gray finish. Add a bit of dust and dirt maybe some light mud from outdoor running and they will look even better.

That is absolutely true. This is what the tracks look like after a week of running in dirt and sand. Yesterday they got a good unitentional cleaning when I ran the tank through lots of rain puddles in the yard.

My M1A2 Abrams made it to the beach. Resistance along the way was lite.

JCB 67 , Great looking machine, Sir. Camo matches the rocks or I am just seeing things? Well done. Best, LB

No decals on her yet, but took her out for a test spin tonight, after she arrived today.

I cut a small piece of foam board to fit the tank commander opening, stuck some Velcro on top, and mounted my Matecam.

President Putin flexes his muscles on the Ukrainian front. Where are those Abrams at?

Davy101,Man I am diggin' that mud...., but seriously, you wouldn't want to get 'bogged' down......I am not slime-ing you, am I. ... I need some help. Looks like big fun, SIr. Best, LB

Elbee,
Your avatar sig line says you are in Wichita? If so I'm just down the road from you in Leavenworth. You must have the same mud! :)

Elbee Davy101 I'm jumping onto Andre's podcast in a minute, during which we'll probably meander into talking tanks. Give us a listen, if you're not out mudding!

Here is our Panzer IV that we custom painted for winter. How we did it here in the link. https://youtu.be/ak4kDdKFRs8

Davy, I love the mud shots. That's looking great!

Wes, that Panzer IV looks amazing! Great work!

Sneak Peak.....Something fun under construction on the work bench. This is a “T34-85-I”. It is a combination of a KV1 lower hull and T34-85 turret that was thought to have been tested and fielded in small numbers during WWII according to a book on Russian WWII tanks. It was later found that the tank never existed even as a prototype and has been dubbed a “Fake Tank” by Tanks.encyclopedia.com

This tank as shown is still unpainted and I will be doing a short build and review thread on it shortly. Like the illustrated one in the book I am using a Heng Long KV1 lower and mating a Heng Long T34-85 turret to it.

The red lights on top are part of a new aftermarket HL replacement IR receiver I am testing (yes there will be a review on it soon).

The Sherman has the best smoker!

The Sherman has the best smoker!

That is because it caught fire so easily! It was called the Ronson after all!

Great picture though!

Rubicoon99 ,It's get fun to swap turrets.

Rubicoon99 ,It's get fun to swap turrets.

Yes it is! Easier then most think it is to do and one can come up with some fun and interesting concepts especially with HL tanks being reasonably cheap enough to kit bash for parts.

Taking shape....paint is done, weathering has started and only a few final detail parts need to be installed. More photos on my Instagram @fsttanks
