Friuls are fantastic .I used them the first time on my Pershing ,too.You dont see much of them because of the sideskirts,but on my planed Dio they will be perfect.
Again,very well done ,Kim.

The first time I used Friuls was for a T-26, because the original Mirage rubber caterpillars were so bad... I was a bit afraid, because it isn't plastic material, but it's so easy to work with. And I planned to use Friuls only, when the original ones are bad, but... once you started with Friuls.... you can't stop.

True Frank, I'm also building the sherman and I already have my friultracks. The only bad thing is the price of the tracks.

And on the sherman ther isnt much hang of the Tracks.So the whole work of cleaning and assembeling them is almost a waste of time.But i will do the same if i build a Sherman again.

There are many Scalemodelling events in Europe (Mol, Wuerzburg), where Friul Model ist participating as a vendor. There you the Fruils usually 7-10 EUR cheaper than in a shop.

Thanks Mike
@ Frank, I know, I bought my in Mol but 20 euro is still expensive for just tracks, but you see the difference 🙂

Markus, picture number 8 ( the spare tracks silver kinda ).

I would prefer only a slightly flash rust, but this is my opinion.
3 October 2012, 14:16
Kim Branders
Good idea Mike, with MIG pigments?? Others??
3 October 2012, 14:26
Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
I agree with Mike.(perhaps it helps,see pic 14 of my Pershing

In this case you sprayed a heavily diluted light rust on it adding under certain circumstances some pigments or (I prefer this way) you use the rust tone from Abteilung 502. It's easier to control the layer. Hope this will help you.

Nice work mate. Agree with Mike regarding to the tracks. But a bit of dust will solve it quickly

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
The dust and rust set from lifecolor is great!!And then some mig rust wash.
