Ertl D10N 1/50 scale diecast tractor model

Nice Work.

   The flatter yellow color is much more fitting and the blade stands out nicely. However, if you're going for a more used or at-work look (with the driver and unpainted blade) the factory yellow treads are a bit incongruous.  Grey, black, or worn metallic could look great and would also give a nice contrast.

The treads on the model are not removable so that painting would need to be done by hand.

I can see where that would be a big deterrent.  I guess spraying would require disassembly and I've ground out the rivets do on enough die-cast to know that it's no fun at all.  And those weren't even rivets are the outside of the model as this would require.

Anywho, looking forward to seeing this one on your layout.

The rivet holding the plow cannot easily be removed which is necessary to free up the treads.

My hands are not steady anymore and have found that the Testor's paint tubes from my local LHS help me paint areas like the treads. They come in many colors. Brown or flat black might work.

The tracks on one of mine dry rotted and came off on their own.  Reason for me saying that is.... I found replacement tracks and just put them back on and glued/positioned the seam in an inconspicuous place under the tractor.   That is one way you could remove those tracks without dis assembly.  cut them, and reglue on the bottom where its hard to see.   

Just a thought.

But I don't want to detract from what a great job has been done on this tractor!  It looks awesome!  The flat paint and silver blade look great!  I would go a step further and do the tracks dirty (heck paint them on it cause if you splatter or overpaint it just looks like dirt/mud/rust on the body/wheels.  I'd also add some to the blade.
