RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi,
I got my first tank, a HL Pershing, about two weeks ago! I've wanted this since I was a kid back in the 60s! Bought my first airbrush too. I've already removed the tank's side dust guards and filled all those holes for gear. Next is to texture the turret & glacis, then paint and weather! I haven't painted a model vehicle since... let's see... since George Bush SENIOR was president. I have done some 120mm display figures (brushed oils) and various historical wargame figures, so I'm not a painting novice. Actually, I do have a few hundred 1/285th scale tanks (WWII and Arab-Israeli) painted a couple of decades ago.

Welcome Gandalf the Grey! I also set aside modeling for quite some time, until picking it back up again a few years ago... you're in the right place here... wow, 1/285 scale? How do you paint them... with a microscope & a single hair?
