Cromwell Mk.VI from Airfix

This kit came with a option off ether the elastic band type tracks or the plastic tracks that you have too part build and am going to be giving them a try. On my bus ride back home I did look the kit up on YouTube and did see the tracks can be built now (carefully so you don't glue them too the wheels) and then removed too then paint separately and fix them to the model closer too being finished. Have also made sure the wheels can still be rotated and removed too help with this and painting later.
If anyone has any tips for building the tracks or anything for this model they would be greatly appreciated

Have built up the tank in too the main sections and have got the first layer off primer on. As i'am still practicing with the airbrush decided to use some spare citadel paint I had thinned about 50/50 with Tamiya X-20A and whilst there are a couple off parts which weren't as even as I would like tho that was more a mistake on my part and is where you won't see it as is behind the wheels and tracks but found the paint worked well and have plenty off it which was going to waste other wise. So will be using it as a primer from now on. It needs another thin coat which I will probably get done tomorrow then can put the main colour on which I think will be Tamiya's XF-61/Dark green then can paint on any other colours by hand and finish the build before moving on to decals and then weathering.

Base colour added to most off the main parts and the wheels tho still need to go back and paint the black on to tires on the wheels and the tracks are primed ready for painting there main colour. Haven't painted the small tools that I shall brush paint soon then attach to the model. Also ended up breaking the machine gun barrel off on the gun coming out off the main hull moving it too get paint on the last bit under it managed to find the barrel tho which did go across the room lol. I managed to sand any paint off the bits that will be touching each other plus flatten the bits that snapped and managed to glue it back on tho it will be a even more fragile area now so need to remember to be extra careful when painting the gun and moving it tho once painted and moved to the position I want (doesn't move much just up and down slightly) will leave it in that position from now on so hopefully won't break it off again.
