‘Tis truth! But, don’t fall into the trap of the dark side!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

She's coming along very well. A few things to point out, while your tracks would have fresh bare metal showing the spares would be rusted from not moving. Same with bare metal on the armor only the few most recent and high traffic areas would have bright metal showing. Try mixing a wash with the Grey you used for the main color mixed with a dark brown and wash that over the bare metal spots. You are doing a great job here!

Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

The spare tracks can be presented realistically in one of three ways. Brand new ones are coated in a tarlike preservative substance and come on the vehicle that way from the factory. The German preservative was more brownish in tone while the US stuff was black. Used links and lengths will indeed weather and rust. Those are often worn out and usually just carried as supplemental armor. The third option, not commonly seen on the Panzer Gray vehicles but more commonly seen on the later war three color camo schemes with the tracks being used as extra armor has the tracks also painted in the camo colors.
