Finally. All The Paint + Primer has acquired.
Now going wait for the Model Kit. (Might probably need order the Metal Road Wheels aswell. *Metal Wheel with rubber.)

Yep, those are fine choices. I agree about starting with Tamiya's Dunkelgrau and then lightening it unevenly (as would occur in a road march) by dusting it up with pan pastels.

Unfortunately. Seems my dad doesn't want to paint the whole tank. because it is "too much work/time" or "paint is too thick for the holes" so instead painting whole tank, will have to paint the armor skirt instead.

That's a shame. Is it yours or your Dad's tank?

Just an Update.
Painted the kit only and glued onto tank. Happy just how looks for now. Despite main tank still not resprayed is we don’t have a purpose like taking out to show off. But it just be stay within our home.
I know i haven't change the cannon muffler yet. but got no clue how to swap it.

That looks just fine: there's no reason to assume that any given Panzer and the Schürzen were painted at the same time, nor that the paint would weather at an even rate. If that were my Panzer, I would move on to weathering it with some pastel powders. While there are many choices of pastel powders, I use "Pan Pastel," some of which I see on Amazon.au. Then when I would be satisfied with the weathering effect, I would use an acrylic clear flat paint to seal it all.
