PAINTING AND WEATHERING
Finished the build work!. (the sides are not glued yet, first I will treat the tracks).
Next step: I will apply a coat of Primer before to paint.
I applied the Tamiya Fine Surface Primer, now I will wait some hours before to start the painting!
Before to airbrush the tracks and wheels I used Parafilm for cover the sides. Paint used: Vallejo / Model Air #71056, black-grey.
Now, airbrushed the rest of the armor with no protection on the tracks and wheel, the effect will be natural when I start the weathering, (only a small retouch in the wheels and track sides). Paint used: Vallejo / Model Air #71028, sand-yellow; and the interior of hatches were painted with: AMMO MIG Interior Color, #A.MIG017, cremeweiss.
Next step: Add the decals. Paint the tools and treat the tracks continuing the weathering assambling the side plates.
Camouflage and decals are ready!. For the camo I used: Vallejo / Model Air #71012, dark-green.
Tools are ready!. Paints used Vallejo and Humbrl: cleaning rods, V-Model Color- #984, flat-brown, V-MC#70912,tan-yellow and H- #56, metallic. Cutting pliers, V-Model Color #70818 red-leather mixed with V-MC#981 orange- brown (50-50), and the rest with V-MC#984, flat-brown and H-#56 metallic.
Mud on the tracks using: Vallejo, acrylic-resin (paste), brown-earth
Retouching the tracks with Humbrol #27002, Metalcote polished Aluminium.
Mud on the wheels and more on tracks using: Vallejo, acrylic-resin (paste), brown-earth mixed with Humbrol #10 (Gloss), Dark-earth.
