    If you are going to use "Rust-All", the best thing I have
  heard is pickling them in vinegar for around 12 hours, washed
  well, then into the Rust-All, and finally, a very through
  rinse to completely stop the Rust-All.

    If you are going to paint them, any good primer will do,
  and I am partial to Model Masters Titanium as a base color
  for steel tracks, as I feel rust is often overdone on a tank
  (unless, of course, you plan to model the Tiger II outside
  of Stavelot as it looks today, in which case, rust IS the
  appropriate color). Then weather with rust, earth mud and
  bare steel (Humbrol buffable metallic is really nice here)
  as appropriate.
