I switched my attention to the trench "crib" device. Here's the result and I'm fairly pleased. Once done painting, I wet an old Testor's paint brush and began rubbing the paint. I sprayed a few coats of this in the area where the red and white will go then taped them off for spraying. It's my understanding this stuff is the same as the hairspray technique. I decided I was going to weather these heavily to show some of the paint wearing off. It was time to add the distinctive red and white stripes to the tank. I started by hand painting the exhaust pipe in XF-64 Red Brown then drybrushed it a little with silver. Thanks guys, yeah, that's why I decided to open a few hatches. I have yet to find a tutorial on muddy tracks that I like. I plan to weather them, but I will likely forego mudding them up. I have been putting it off, but I suppose I need to build the tracks soon. I was going to paint in the red and white striped areas but I ran out of time. I do plan to try the AK Dark Brown pin wash and perhaps their streaking fluid on this turkey later. I added some streaking by adding XF-2 Flat White to the concoction. This is what it looks like.Īgain I reverted back to what I know. I thought it was too sandy colored, so I added some XF-49 Khaki. I used it then added some XF-26 Deep Green. I found a formula online with half XF-52 Flat Earth, half XF-55 Deck Tan, which is apparently Tamiya's recommendation in their kits of this subject. It's my understanding these were a brown khaki color with a hint of green. I decided to stick with what I know for the painting, mixing my own with Tamiya paints. I was considering buying the AK Interactive Modulation set for British WWI Armor, but in the end I didn't feel like spending the $30.00 for it, especially for a one time build.
