Some light oxide splashes and perhaps some black smoke glaze are missing. I'm also going to try some gray pigment.

The progress of the weekend. I have been assembling and painting in parts to work better with the paint and weathering

I'm not very convinced with the effect on the right front wheel. I try to pretend that it has been burned. The rubber has melted on the tire and therefore remains. Below are also the wires of the tire structure...but the more I look at it it seems more like mud than burnt...I don't know...how do you see it, friends?

It's a shame that all the work with the interiors, cushioning, etc... is lost when placing the frame... well...

The assembly of the chains is being a nightmare. Trumpeter links do not have a metal pin to connect to each other. Therefore if I glue them they lose mobility, if I don't they come apart and there is no way to place them on the tractor wheels. anyway... crazy

We continue to advance in the aging process. When working on the pieces in parts I must be careful that the entire vehicle has a certain coherence

I have doubts about the trailer. It gives me the feeling of "too new" regarding the towing vehicle. It makes sense in the sense that the fire and destruction occurred only on the right front side and did not affect the gun or the trailer...but I don't know...how do you see it?

This is the look I would like the final composition to have, perhaps with a resin figure of an American soldier...

Finishing details with the AK pencils

In the absence of matte varnishing to secure the pigments, I consider the project finished. I share some final photos with you. Thank you for following me and supporting me.

They are simply plastic threads made by stretching heat sprues and then twisting them.

Excellent paintwork.
As for the front wheel, I think it looks like mud, like you said. Maybe you can add some steel wires, the cords of the tire that is leftover after burning (not sure if these had cords though)
Also, as the front is completely burned out, I think the drive belt of the fan would be gone as well. Will follow this 👀 it will be a beauty!
