Made a start on the weathering aiming for a dirty dusty look as opposed to caked in mud. I am using An AK enamel wash for American desert vehicles which seems to be doing the trick.

For the tracks I have used a mix of humbrol 26 mig rust pigments and various enamel washes as a base .ImageImage

Ferny did you use a filter to blend everything together so nicely? This is actually a very hard airbrush paint scheme camouflage of this design can go bad very quick if you're not careful but you nailed itImage

Just the AK wash it's a kind a pinkey brown colour and a bit of luck !
