Yeah and I don't know why. If you mess it up just paint over it and try again.
 
Got some bench time the last couple of days. The hull has been shaded and the olive green wash applied. The details have been highlighted and a dry brush treatment done.

Next I sealed the model with some future and applied the decals.

I sealed the model again and now the weathering can begin. First I went over the model with a burnt sienna and raw umber oil wash. Next another dry brush of pale green. The first thing get weathered was the exhaust port. I used Model Master exhaust mixed with a little rust colored pastel powder. I then went over the tank adding some brown dirt to the cracks and crevices'. I did some weathering of the tracks as well.
