Just a thought, I have a Stug III auf A I would also like to paint in whitewash. Would a thin spray of very thinned white from air brush do the trick as well?

Hi Kencelot and Tiger1, Thanks for the replies. I would definitely try it on my Stug III. One more question, I suppose while I doing the spraying and use brush to remove the excess white, I must coat the camo with dull coat first to protect the original camo color, right?

Absolutely. If you gloss cote - then you'll get smoother streaking. A dull cote will give you a more blotchy result. Both are nice - depends on what you want to do in the end - but you should always protect the base color with a clear coat.

Thanks Gunnie, and also sourkraut for bring this thread back.... :-)

I think I read it from somewhere, can't remember where though, for a grey German AFV with white wash, I can also first spray the model in over all gray, then spray it white, then spray gray at the edges and worn area...have any of you tried this before? I think you must have very good control of the airbrush to pull it off....

I have a couple more questions like to ask:

1. washes and drybrushes, do I do it prior to the whitewash process, or afterwards.
2. I suppose the on vehicle tools would also be whitewashed, (guess in the field, people will not do a detailed work to leave out the tools, they would just white wash the whole thing, right?), and I just need to drybrush some original color after the white coat to show wears, right?
3. How about chasis and wheels? do they get white wash treatment as well?
4. while I am at it, what's the best way to simulate caked snow on tracks and road wheels, I have baking sodas. would mixing with thinner and brushed on, achieve the effect?

Will appreciate all the answers from the experts. Thanks a lot in advance.
