Hey I just started with painting tanks and I use Tayima acrylic's. Can anyone help me with how to weather and battle scare my panzers? Right now I'm working with the Tayima Panzer IIF and my next tank is going to be the Marder IIIM. Any help is much appreciated. THANK YOU BYE!

Hi Boden,

The Pz II F is an excellent starter kit... I would suggest holding off on the Marder III M, till you acquire more skill.. that is a beautiful kit! So you want to save it until you have more experience under your belt!!!

Go for some other the other Older Cheaper Tamiya kits to learn on...

then once your feeling good about your results hit the Marder III M

dont use the tamyia for a wash.cause i did this a few years ago with my tank,
and it came out bad. if u use tamyia use a gloss coat of clear to prtect the taymia paint .then use
testors paint for the wash.
after that wash do a flat coat of clear
