1:1 scale tank parts

Someone told me diet cola was a cheap way to get rid of rust, so here goes!

[AJWW2]

WOW..... did it work?

[plasticboy]

I like to know as well, did it work?

[pickelhaube]

I am sure it did not.

But elbow grease and a wire brush do.

The phosphoric acid in the diet cola seems to have worked reasonably well for the Panzer IV track link. I just wiped it off with a ball of aluminium foil and the metal coloured stuff appeared as if by magic.

There are some hard scaley bits on the Panzer II track, though, so I think I'll have to chip those off and try it again. I guess it might be hard mud instead of rust.
