Joerg,
you make a step to go really in to it. Sometimes points like yours sounds like a 360 or little revolution on modelling. I don`t think so and if it`s allowed on this thread i will follow.
Every modeller find his own way to paint his vehicles how he like it. I respect all the good work i see. My way to build and paint vehicles are allways from the point what i know about. I am making a lot of mistakes that i found out later and then i say to myself"ok next time better". I allways like to learn whats really happend on vehicles in WW2. You are talking about some points, they are on my opinion.
The tanks are live maybe days, weeks or month, some lucky ones years. It seems to be a forgotten point sometimes, that the crew have to work on his weapon to keep it in good condition. For example the soldier who have to clean and oil his gun from time to time. To do that is not only an idea, there were striktly orders about.
But here we have some basic questions about Rust, the changes of base color of a tank in weeks or month, the condition of tracks, the heavy mud and dust on vehicles etc.etc. Maybe all that very interest questions are going to far here, but i hope we talk about again.
I only go for the rust again here.
I agree that rust on a tank are not so strong happend. But not all parts had the quality of hull and turret. Some parts are allways calling" rust come to me, rust come to me". I mean fenders and spezial fender holders and klamps for the tools and every hole that was drilled for some bolts etc.
The pressure for the germans(i am knowing not enough about tanks of other nations) in the last years of war let them often"rock around the clock" and maybe there wasn`t allways enough time to work on the tank. So i think we have a little chance for a little rust on our models. But rust like on a tank that standing ouside in a museum for 60 years, maybe to much.
Back to the Exhaust. The engines today are not that rough devils like in WW2. Allso the quality of exhaust maybe a bit better today. I think the crew didn`t have a chance to hold exhaust in good condition cause, if they paint it new, the paint burnt out in a short time.
