I don't know if it's any help or not but when I did my Female tank, I liberally plastered the tracks with filler. When it was dry I just slapped on loads of browns & black. Once dry, several coats of Klear to get that wet mud look.

You could do something similar around the wheels & tracks and the lower sections of the armour?

Nice work so far, it doesn't look as if there's much left to do.
