ok when you make a wash use the same color as the paint you used what ever you are building,
what i do i use a jar and fill it up with paint thinner and use liltte paint,
cause u just want the thinner to be tinted and use a little black with the base color,
and stir it up good,
but be fore you put it on the model use future floor wax its a clear coat u need the clear coat.
so it dont eat the paint off your model and let the clear coat dry over night,
then u put the wash on the model.put it in all the lines of the hacthes,
and arund where ever there is tools.
and all over the rised deatil.
and after that is dryed dry brush the whole tank.
and that how u do a wash.
what i do is was the whole model and then dry brush the whole thing even the flat places.
but i would not do that if i was u cause u are new to doing washes and dry burshing.
every body here has there own ways of doing things and good luck

For most vehicles and figures I use and all over wash of burnt sienna oil and humbrol enamel thinner. I never gloss coat .... only under and above decals. I give a few days drying time though to make sure the paint has cured. This all over wash is very thin .... dirty thinner rather than thin paint. I also use humbrol enamels as well, depending on what colour or effect Im looking for. Light dusty colours on top and darker earthy colour on wheels and running gear and down low. This method of washing is also called filters.
I also then use a wash with a lot more oil or paint in for pin washes. Usually dark colours.. blacks, dark earths, burnt umber etc. and use a 5/0 brush to place a small drop around details and in lines/creases. Both oils and humbrol enamles work for this. Some times I even filter wash over this all again. It gives depth and ties all the colours together. I use this system for both figures and armor. A wash with burnt sienna in certain places can give a nice rusty feel.
When all washes are complete, I dry-brush very lightly. Thats roughly how I do it. If you have any more particular questions, please ask. I have tried a few different thinners for washes and nothing comes close to humbrol thinner. Very mild and runs well!
