What did you do in your modeling workshop today?
(yesterday actually)
I questioned my logic behind wanting workable tracks on my Easy-8.

It’s a question I’ve asked myself a couple of times. TBH I’m happy enough with AFV Club-style a/m tracks.
To be fair, less than 30% of my builds are on tracks anyway (and 2 of those are sitting on transport trailers)

Hello again!
A little more from the LambrettaWerks…
With what I have available on my paint shelf, all my in-house mix tests were fails. So, it was back to searching the web where I found a really close color match from Vallejo. Here’s the reference image again for comparison.
• Vallejo Blue Green (70.808)
Well, I am out of Vallejo White (70.951) and I could always add this, and that, and more, which would of course add more value to shipping — good intensions already racing well past $50 USD — Just can’t stomach the thought of waiting for another package delivery while my ideas are fresh. 
Wait! I’ve got a whole box 'o AK Real Colors Markers on the shelf. I wonder? 
EUREKA!
• Tamiya (87177) Masking Tape for Curves (2mm)
• Mr (GSI B502) Top Coat Semi-Gloss Spray… a mist just to seal the tape edge
• Real Colors Markers Russian Cockpit Turquoise (RCM031)
All images for reference only. No affiliation with manufacturers or vendors.
Here you go… one side of the Lambretta two-tone. There was just a little bleed, but after some touch-up, I think I can live with it. … Hopefully, it’ll all smooth-out after final clear coat.
To be continued. …

It was the decal paper, realised it was about 5 years old and as you said, had gone off. The new sheet released OK but settling the decal on the textured sidewall was a challenge.
Dull cote and then sort the bumper code on the M125 tomorrow.

Finally got to work on these tracks… So much better than link and length! They can be a little finnicky, but once I got it, it went smoothly. I’ll work on fitting the tracks, spare tracks, and positioning the figures next time.

Dry fitting session…
The hull was 2mm wider than the opening in the topstructure, had to make that wider, but otherwise…
