Wolfpack Modern IDF tracks installed. Very realistic compared to vinyl tracks. Best to install while you have full access all the way around.

Next step! More preshading around the hatches and bustle rack. My wheel tree is the handiest.

Modifications to the Tamiya kit include an exhaust pipe (not included) and boxing in the radiator outlet so that it's not just looking in on the tracks.

Thanks! It's my first attempt at getting creative with paint, doing more than the standard paint scheme and details. I don't usually do much in the way of weathering. I tend to like well maintained vehicles.

Spanjaard, I added a picture of the mods I made to mine. Exhaust pipe and radiator outlet. Sorry, it's all black under there and doesn't photograph well.
