Yes sir , mix of AK/Ammo late war set ( as I was low on the AK set, I had to switch to Ammo set but they differ like non)

only used the green's and yellow's on this one . Turret is tamiya flat red + clear red ( with a hint of black for pre shading )

I love the weathering Stian, I'm really going to have to learn how to use oils. I think they do a better job of achieving the look that I want than the pigments I've tried, though of course that's probably more user error than anything else. Keep it up!

Using oils( my way of doing it). These ammo oils are ready to use out of bottle. Place desired color in spot you want to weather. Use brush to wet area with odorless thinner. Continue with bigger brush dry ore just a hint of thinner on, and 'stomp' the oils, spreading it out. When dry it will leave a transparent 'dirt/dust/mud look. Repeat prosess to build up layers, using different tones (earth/mud/dark brown/dust/buff etc)
