Unfortunately, the vinyl tracks were a completely new material for me to work with and I spent a lot of time researching what to use. After chipping, I did detail painting as well as "jewel effects" on the periscopes/viewports using successive highlights of VMC Dark Blue, to VMC Light Turquoise, to pure white. Once dry, I applied some very light edge highlights using the mix above with a touch of pure white added and then began the chipping process. To paint this model, I primed it using Krylon's Rust Red primer, applied a coat of hairspray, and then over-sprayed a basecoat mix of Tamiya 75% Dark Yellow/25% Yellow Green. If you want more info on the build itself, that is included with my review above. This was a fun kit to build and a nice change of pace from my usually serious work that simply sat half-complete on my workbench for most of this summer. Way back in January I reviewed two of Meng's "World War Toon" Chibi tanks and I finally completed one of them.
