Hi! This is my first real attempt at the hairspray whitewash method. I'm not sure how much I like it right now. Maybe additional weathering and painting the tracks/wheel rims will help. I've masked the big gray areas on purpose so I can spray the number and div. symbol there.
Any advice/criticism are welcomed!

Looks good Steve. Yes, weathering will definitely enhance the look. You may want to consider either snow or mud on the wheels / tracks. Cheers, Tat

Off to d start. As Tat said additional weathering and some mud/snow to the lower hull and gunning gear would be a great addition.

Excellent whitewash. Don't forget the kill markings, on the barrel. Some snow would look the part, but I don't notice any mud in the photos.

Steve,
That looks really good! I like using a toothpick to get a bit more weathered detail on some of those hard to reach places. Can't wait to see the finished product.
