- Hey Everyone,
Here is my simply technique to weather your tracks in any scale RC or static. This can be used on plastic and metal tracks although with metal you would need to prime first.
Hope you enjoy the video. Any questions please leave them in the comments and I will do my best to answer them.

![[ How-To | Tutorial ] How I paint my Tracks on 1/35th German WWII scale model tanks.](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/v0s9bKtNYR4/mqdefault.jpg)
I have been trying to get in modeling and have been struggling with what to do with the tracks. I plan on doing a lot of experimenting and creating my own techniques but I will probably mix your technique into mine to make my own look. Thanks!
+MisterAxeMan great that I could help. Thanks for watching the video.
Very good vídeo!!Thankyou!!
Thanks, glad you found it useful
Hi do you thin the 080 rust and does it matter if you spray heavy in places by accident thanks
i use to have that exact same airbrush a couple years ago. its complete garbage. i threw it in the garbage and bought a iwata.
Hello Steve just to let you know that I have been using your track rusting way of painting and it has come out fantastic changed the tank completely. Thanks man.
Awesome man. Glad you liked it and found the technique useful. It makes a massive difference to the overall look and realism of the tank.
I use 1 drop of Gun Metal and 3 -4 drops of saddle brown mixed 1: 3.5 with water and that works perfectly for rust
thank you for the video. I did this to my Tiger build. I didn't use the same exact colors I did achieve a similar effect.
+Chris Seifert no problem and glad to hear that you liked the video.
Another technique I use is to place the freshly painted track in a ziplock with baby powder, shake it very well, and repaint and dry brush with a dull yellowish color. Wash with a dark color of your choice, and then a very light dry brush with a dark steel'ish color.
+Douglas Huston thanks Douglas, that's an interesting technique. Never heard of it before. Awesome stuff.
I keep missing the part of the video where you the Metallic Gray paint. Did you use a mixture of the Chromium Silver and Metallic Gray for your dry brushing? Or was Metallic Gray intended as an alternative? Great effect!
Great mate! Thanks 👍 👍 👍 🥃👌
Much appreciated bro 👍
Thanks for the simple and easy guide to painting tracks. Your manner and voice make it easy to listen and learn from unlike many long winded narrators...... Did miss where you used the metallic grey, Cheers. Ed J a n KS
Much appreciated brother
And Gun metall Tamiya acryl X-10. No good last time paints airbrush ? I to time days paints old model Leopard 1a4 1/35 and Meng track for Leo 1. First Matt Black, II. red brown. I think to time finish pain fine airbrush X-10 and black brush for vinyl ruber tiles. Finaly pigment europe.... ??? It good idea ? Thx. Edward, Czech republic. For me good insipiration. I like and goo look you all video.
Much appreciated and thanks for watching. Glad you like the content
Great video! I'm currently working on a model that will be painted in an Arctic camo pattern. Would you paint the tracks any differently to simulate that kind of environment? I wouldn't think there would be a lot of mud caked on them as compared to the same vehicle rolling across the Russian steppes.
Don't trust me on this cause I don't know jack about this stuff but I'm guessing that you should use some sort of white paint to weather the tracks and also a little bit if gray and use an air brush l
No, I work on leopard tanks in germany. barely any snow picks up in the track links however lots of ice collects everywhere in the links and hull but not around the exhaust
Holy cow is that a old school Aztec airbrush???
Thanks for this video. Nice, simple, realistic method for sure! 👍
+Dtm Jax thanks, glad you liked it and thanks for watching and commenting
Wouldn't it be more "real" if you did it opposite, airbrushed it into this metallic gray and then used rust with this technique?
There is no right or wrong way. That could work as well. Thanks for watching :)
what airbrush do you use it?
Can't remember sorry. I don't have it any more. Need to get a new one
It's an aztek, although I wouldn't recommend it :)
I first use the Tamiya light gray primer, then matt black, then the enamel wash `` Track wash '' from Ak Interaktiv and finally gun metal paint, for panthers, tigers and co. In 1.16 scale
Great tips, thanks for sharing. Please don't send me a cat though, I've got Italian leather furniture. LOL.
+tigertanktoo you're welcome. Glad you liked it and found it useful
I did, very much. I've built the Tamiya 1/16 early Tiger 1 and currently building the HobbyBoss 1/16th mid Tiger 1.
+tigertanktoo very nice. Tiger 1 is definitely one of my favourite tanks
Nice video well done!
Thanks for watching
+Great simple video. Compared to andy's hobby headquarters (which is a top channel) you needed AK model wash, 4 pigments, Fruil tracks, 3 x mix ratio Tamiya paint mix for airbrushing and then finally a dry brushing technique after that!
I tried a Nato Black base, then a Mr. Gunze steel over the top to get a similar choppy steel look. Not as detailed as this but better than overdoing the mud pigments and all that crap. In my experience, too much weathering creates too much opportunity to ruin a model beyond repair. (each to their own.
I do have a request though. Tamiya's JS2 1/35 Box art has perfect coloured tank tranks, and am hoping someone could do a tutorial on how to create that weathered dulled down metallic look.Cheers. Have seen you at Crazy Hobbies in Stanmore - if anyone on here is looking for an inner western sydney shop which has good range of scale models, Crazy hobbies in Stanmore is a good place.
tracks are STEEL SILVER then a crap coat of black paint stuck on them then covered in a oil / tar mix to stop them rusting then when you put them on the afv they look great up until you drive it anywhere when it for the most part comes off you get mud on the running gear (tons of it) and the tracks are silfer and rust and a tiny bit of black no mud until you stop but as soon as it moves the mud comes off so think on this and as great as your tracks are there is much more silver on show from running on muddy (with stones) and just stones and roads i used to drive an afv 432 mk2 for the british army and the rust is on the bits not touched by the wheels and ground
Nicely done tutorial mate
Thanks, glad you liked it
CAN YOU USE A BRUSH LET ME KNOW THANKS
You can although the end result will not be as good plus it would take much longer.
Well hello my good friend I truly loved the demonstration on painting the tank tracks 👍👍👍👍👍and now,.. I have a question my good friend.. I want to weather my metal tracks. and you mentioned using a primer first.. BUT..you
Didn't say what color primer should I use on my metal trasks..???? .so I will be waiting for your response my friend. ASAP..👍👍👍
Basic dark grey would be fine.
Excellent video!
Thanks
Nice technique, and a fine display of dry brushing. I would suggest a good wash with a dark grey or similar color, and then dry brush with a second lighter rust color. The steel/aluminum you use might be a bit too bright. I would suggest a darker steel color followed with a very light brushing with your lighter metallic color. Tank tracks, while well worn with use over hardtop, rarely take on a bright sheen. But thanks for sharing your hobby and passion.
+Douglas Huston thanks Douglas, appreciate your comments and thanks for watching. Great tips, definitely take them onboard for my next attempt.
Its a great hobby, one where you never stop learning.
The easy way is to go in you backyard, get the garden hose, find a nice pile of dirt, spray the dirt with your hose, then dump the tracks in the pile.
+Black Sheep and cheapest too :)
Great Video. Thanks 😊
How to paint a track that not weathered?
what scale is the jagdpanther in the background? looks bigger than 1/35
Tamiya 1/25
@@RCTanksTrucks247 very cool, how much was the acctually model kit?
Hi I have metal tracks can you make a video tutorial on how to paint the metal tracks?
it works the same but you just paint the rust colour in enamel and if you drive the tank on concrete the tracks will weather natura to get the silver shine
How do you make the tracks?
+Oziel Ortega they come pre assembled
RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 Like already made and what store?
+Oziel Ortega yep, already made. When you buy a Tamiya kit they are already built, just need to be installed. When you buy a Heng Long/taigen tank then they are already installed on the tank.
RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 which site/store?...and thank you for taking you time to answer this questions..may god bless you🙏
+Oziel Ortega no problem. I normally buy my Tamiya tanks got banzaihobby.com. For heng long RC Tanks just search online, eBay has some pretty good sellers
clean sometimes your airbrash....xixixixi
Haha, yeah I need to do it more often
Great tutorial thanks. Did you mix the x56 and x11 together for the dry brush?
Mad Flak nah, but you can. It is what you like. Would look good regardless :)
ok thanks :)
so ur saying i need a airbrush?
No, not really although airbrush gives you finer detail work. You can still achieve great results from a rattle can.
What scale,model and type of tank is this
1/16 Tiger 1 Heng Long
+RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 thanks and great video also thanks for replying so fast!
+RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 by the way isn't this a jagdpanther?
is this an effective way to realistically paint the tracks?: what if i buy say the metal tracks or paint the plastic ones silver and then put the rusty top coat over the silver and drive the tank on say concrete until that silver finish shows thru from the rust paint being scratched off. Will that work as well?
Yep that would work. I would recommend the metal tracks though if your budget allows it.
Thanks for watching
