hi mate thanks for that i used tamiya nato green and nato black. when you say you over sprayed with matt black do you mean the hole model? like a light coat all over.

Re: sponges challenger 2
No just over sprayed the nato black camo stripes with a cost of matt black with the airbrush, I did use matt black to highlight all the panel edges and flat earth to lightly over spray the whole model and more concentrated in certain areas where dust/ dirt would accumulate
