Lert's Pz IV F2

I've had this tank for nigh on 5 years now, decided over the past few weeks to give it a repaint. Went with hard-edge camo carefully applied with brush, used multiple layers of thinned airbrush paint to get a smooth result. Went with extra heavy weathering, as if this is a veteran tank that's been through heavy action.

I'm honestly not sure I'm 100% happy with it.

I reckon it needs a few stone chips. Use the yellow to put stone chips on the brown and green so that it looks like it is showing through the layers above. A piece of sponge dipped in the paint will do it. :thumbup:

Yes a little chipping with a sponge on the surface with the base coat as reccomended and this will really bring all the colors together

How would I do that? Never done sponging before. What's the method?

Hi Image Everyone has their own way of doing it some similar to others. Mr Maxmekker on The forum posted this video a while back. You can use his methods anywhere. I use them and have had great success. Do some practice on a spare model ( I use thick paper sheets and test until the desired effect and consistency is achieved) Then have fun....
