RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

This is my first post and first build. I am currently building a 1/6th scale Sherman tank ( I figure on your first build you go big or go home). I am converting a Dragon model kit to RC. I am also modeling it after Oddballs tank in Kelly's Heroes. Below is a pic of my suspension and the lower hull. I am trying to find some good images of how the lower hull would be weathered. I am happy with my suspension weathering, but any constructive criticism is welcomed. Does anyone have anything to share? Appreciate any assistance.

Hey Oddball - in case you haven't seen these sites?

Excellent, the weathering looks fantastic!!

I see you are using the Spyker Workshop hull reinforcement set.

Yes, Ryan and Spyker and John at East Coast Armory have been great to work with.

Very nice weathering. How did you do it?

Sorry for late reply. I started with red Tamiya primer then airbrushed grey/green Vallejo air and then a thinned top coat from mission model, darker grey/green. This allowed the lighter grey/ green to appear thru. After that just dried brushed dark rust and used light rush wash on top of that.
