Let’s do the tracks…

This is a very special point to do this. We have some new we have worn and we have burned out segments. My first impressions i think use the PSM “Gefechtskette” but how to mold the burned out segments… After a long term to search and headeck i found the Friul track with seperate rubber pads… a little bit expensive but okay - i need this…

Forget the expensive “track-coloring-fluid” i used “tiffany-glass” fluid for the tracks. Half the price and you became “black” and “copper”

I don’t know which Leo 2 you’re representing…

The one that was touched up and on display in Moscow’s “Patriot Park”.

Or one that was destroyed and abandoned on the battlefield…

But so far, you’re doing a great job replicating it.

As for the tracks. I agree to do a combination of worn / damaged / burned out tracks at the point of impact (POI).

tracks look goo so far; add some work out pads, then leave the rubber pads off at ta few sections of track where the fire melted them off.

Thanks for your Feedback.

I will represet the moscowe’s one. (take a notice the T80 wheels on the left side) Not completely the moscow’s presented, i have pics from exactly this vehicle destroyed in the field… i think i do a mix between recovery and exhibition

Here a little update from the tracks build.

So you could see the PSM’s isn’t correct useble…
