Greetings

For my Tamiya Tiger tank I want to make it have the all grey paint scheme. My only problem is how to weather it. I am used to only weathering tanks with the dark yellow scheme so I can use dark pastels on it to show. For the grey, can black still be used? I feel it won't show much at all. Also, for chipping, what paint should I have underneath the Panzer grey coat. And I have heard Vallejo acrylics are best for chipping. Can tamiya acrylics also be used? Thanks.

Joe,
A set of 3 weathering products just for Panzer grey is now available from AK Interactive! The set will be available from AK Interactive USA by this Friday 6.3.11.
The set consists of:
AK-069 Streaking Grime for Panzer Grey
AK-070 Wash Brown-Blue for Panzer Grey

These would be ideal for your current project as they are specifically designed for monotone Panzer Grey finishes.
