Hi, Im quite new to model making/painting and I just wanted to know how you darken and weather the paint like you showed after you painted the 222 on.
Is there something I can get to paint over standard paint to get that look/effect?
Cheers,
Dave

No worries. So did you do the same on the rest of the tank or is that how the green and brown came?
I have a similar pattern on my Tiger but its a bit 'bright' if you get what I mean.

Hi mate . I mixed white with the three basic colours and added a second yellow type to the base yellow , cant think of hand which one . But I used all Tamiya colours but also thined them down so I could spray them .
