This was airbrushed with Tamiya Red Brown XF-64 (and Vallejo Dark Green 097, over Tamiya Light Sand TS46) with an overall coating of Polly Scale "dust".  It was a cloudy day, but Tamiya's red-brown can get  pretty dark over the yellow undercoat. It's also good for giving the Light Sand a warmer tint.
