This kit was in storage for at least 25 years. This is how it looked when I decided to restart it. But with current tools and updated modelling knowledge. I decided not to use the rubber band tracks and ordered Friulmodel metal tracks (ATL-124).

My first experience with an airbrush. What a joy to use. And the results of using an airbrush is amazing.

For an airbrush novice, I'm impressed with the tonal variation even before weathering..

Friulmodel tracks treated with AK Burnishing Fluid.
Watched the videos but it's not as hands off as I expected. Simply soaking the tracks missed way too many spots. Prior to burnishing, I did wash the tracks in dish soap and thoroughly dried. Followed that with an isopropyl bath and dry.
Next time I will try brushing the tracks during the wash as opposed to just soaking in the dish soap.
After the initial burnishing fluid soak, I went over the links with a toothbrush dipped in the fluid to get all the nooks and crannies that were missed. I like the results of this process and will do this on the next metal tracks I work on.

Light chipping.
I cut out the kits styrene (tow) cables and replaced it with copper wire after drilling out the eyelets.
