Thanks, I managed to get the right side finished for the tracks. I determined that 129 links is what I needed to get the sag I wanted. I am pleased with out it has turned out being my first Friul.

Those friuls are looking awesome. Can be time consuming to put together though. Good job.

Thanks guys, upon further review however, many pictures of the T-35 showed a rather very straight track, so I took out one extra link to give it a little more of a snug fit. In the pictures above, when I picked up the model I could almost fit my hand through the droop of the track and the road wheels. By removing just one link it really help improve that a lot.

Anyways, I've painted the tracks in a Testors Gloss Black spray can and then lightly airbrushed with MM enamel Steel. Continue work on the upper hull as well.

I've got a T-28 pretty well built but she's on hold for now.
A lot to tackle huh Dave?

Your efforts are looking great.

Tracks look very good. Removing a link I think was a good call.

Before putting on the side shields, I decided to paint it black for a pre shading as well as a base color for the rubber tires. Then after assembly I primed the rest of the model in Krylon Black Indoor Outdoor and lightly painted two layers of Model Master European Dark Green and the same paint in a lighter shade, concentrating on central panels. Just for fun, I added the tracks and turrets to see how she looks....also a figure for scale.
