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.

Where are you Smethwick? It's early o'clock and you have less than an hour to finish.
