Update 3

Got the detail painting done and move on to my favourite part ....weathering.
I am using a combination of Sand, Rust and Light Dirt Washes with some sand pigment and fixer. oil and fuel stains I intend to use Tamiya X19 Smoke.

toning down the sand a little with cue-tip

I added extra straps on ammo cans and on the from stowage, by using Tamiya tape folded in half and painted

Oilly Stains with Tamiya X19

 

[Junkie]

Coming along nicely. Great update.
