Somehow I had missed this thread so far, very interesting project! It’s cool to see how you progress from hour to hour.
Painting will not be that difficult, I use to leave out only the running gear but even with it in place, it should not be a big problem.
I would paint the lower hull green, behind the wheels, then the tracks and afterwards the wheels. The rubber will need to be painted with a paintbrush. And then all the weathering you like.

Varanusk! Thank you!
I fully agree with the algorithm of actions during painting, described by you. I will be guided by them.
Here I will have to be as careful as possible.
But, additional experience with brushes will only be beneficial.

You can use the airbrush for everything except the rubber of the wheels. Yes, you need to be careful. But it is possible! Some overspray can be covered later with the weathering.
I look forward seeing how it ends

Hi all!
I will continue.

I assume that you will keep the tracks in 4 separate assemblies (top, bottom, front and back) for ease of paint/weathering and final assembly. I am really liking this build.

No. I will glue everything. For the purity of the experiment (painting a fully assembled model, without separate assemblies). But I will assemble the tracks in a different way from the usual one. 
I will show in the photo

32 hours of work.
The places of future holes are pre-punched with a core.
Based on the assembly instructions, I assembled four sections. On microdroplets of glue. So that during further manipulations the tapes do not fall apart.

That is looking awesome, you have more patience than me.
Not that the tracks are bad but if replacing I would have went with the Tankraft tracks, basically what you did but for folks like me that don’t have the patience.
