Ok folks. So I have been at it on the lower hull

Usually I use a mix of thinner and Oils ( abteilung etc) to make a slurry mixg, dab it on, and then right after dab on a varity of pigment colors .

This time I used one of Ammo mud jars and mixed it into a ( sorry for the 'nasty' photo :S )

Stian this looks so realistic. Am I correct saying your mud slurry is applied and then pigments are dabbed onto the wet mix to keep them in place?

that is correct :-)
It's my 'trusted' method on the lower hull

On the wheels I use the Tamiya texture paint dark mud, it really makes a good mud texture when you apply it , and after 'stabb' it with a stiff brush

Pic 1 and 2 for my vote!
Love the mud effects Mr Mekker, I do a similar method but use diluted PVA glue as a fixer and mixing medium.
