A new project. The British Word War 1 tank Mark "A" Whippet in 1/35 by Meng Models.I have glued it together without any upgrade parts, only some rope on the exhausts.... glued all parts together before painting ....
First step - primer in black (Valleyo Black Primer) ....
Next I have painted in in a green color from Tamiya, then lightend up every plate at one corner .... then painted every feeled 1000 bolt heads in a ligther green color again. After that I have masked it for painting the white/red stripes.
After that I have added some damages with a thin pencil and a sponge, dark grey.
The exhaust was painted in rusty color, the guns in Tamiya Dark Metal. The tracks were also painted in Dark Metal, then added a washing in Rust color.
Added the tracks to the tanks, then giving the tank several washings in different yellow/brwon/blue/grey/beige/green oil colors before adding dust and dirt with pigments, leaking oil with Tamiya Smoke .... bare metal with a pencil.
Cheers
