Great looking Sherman SoCalBob.
Finished, we are never really finished , the re-paint of the plastic tracks.
What color was the question. There are many great pics in this thread to choose from.
I decided on medium dark grayish over the brown-rust combo I originally tried.
The german ww2 tanks used a steel & manganese alloy. Manganese is a natural medium-dark gray, it would take a long time for them to "rust", When manganese ages it actually gets darker gray before the usual rust color. Besides, how many really lasted that long on either front to rust ?
If the ground around here was not so hard from the lack of rain, I would pick up the natural dirt color from driving it around.
