Looks very good Michael.

Michael Kraft
Thank you Sir! Not finished yet. I guess it deserves better tracks...

Spanjaard
looking good... are you going to change the tracks?

Nice work, but you should clean up the moulding seams on the road wheels. As for tracks, I can recommend these: scalemates.com/kits/1012173-..ype-workable-track-links-set

The mold seams on the rubber are a feature of the real thing. They wore down quite a bit with usage, but hardly ever disappeared completely. As shown own Michaels model, this would be quite factory fresh tires. For more wear & tear, have a look at this:

Thanks for your replies, guys! This kit was my very first try with rust streaks, so I went for a relatively cheap kit in order to not mess up a precious one. I think it needs more scratches still.
But if it turns out to become a nice result, I will invest in the tracks Fabian D. mentions.
Regarding the mold seams I came to the same conclusion as Jörg when I saw pictures of the real thing. So indeed that wasn't lazyness 😉

Interesting issue on the mold seams on the rubber tires 😎
Looking forward to the next steps .
