The T80 is painted in its base color whit Model Air Russian Green, after the base coat, i started lighted the base color whit toning the base color down in the ratio 12 drops Russian Green ans 1 drop Hemp, both of the Model Air Range by Vallejo. After this had dried, i sprayed a layer Johnson Klear on it, as starting point for the weathering.
The Weathering starts whit filters of Sin Industries(MIG) starting whit 2 layers of P401 Ocher for grey sand en 1 layer P241 Brown for Dark Yellow. Between eache layer is a drying time of 2 hours recommended and this guideline i stick whit, so this hole step is spread over 6 hours. The tank is less bling bling now and its a good starting point for the fading technique
I also put the lens of the headlight in lamp housing. This lamp housing is first brush paint whit XF-16 Flat Aluminum from Tamiya and when this was drying i drill a little hole in the lens and fill this hole whit a drop of X-24 Clear Yellow from Tamiya to simulate the light bulb. The Lens was glued in the lamp housing whit Microscale Industries Micro Kristal Klear.
Comments please. Saturday i start whit the fading process.
