Well I don't think I agree with you on that, Bob. While a light/medium
gray might do for manganese tracks, the normal mild steel ones are
pretty reflective, even from quite a distance. The bottom of these
tracks is very bright, especially on the tops of the cleats.
Notwithstanding Rob's proper referral to dirt packed between the cleats,
I believe that a dull gunmetal track and a drybrushed silver or bright
steel will give a good representation of the real thing. Mind you, this
is without having finished a set of tracks like this, so I may well
change my tune after seeing the garish effects on a Sherman...
