After painting a three tone (dark yellow, dark green and red-brown) camo job on my Sd.kfz 251, I decided I wanted to enhance some of the dark green spots. Though I did the camo job with an AB, I tried touching up with a brush. I didn't like the brushmarks that this left so I went over the areas again with an AB. Now what I have are dark green areas that are way too dark. Should I:

1. Spray on a lightened version of the dark green over the dark areas?

2. Go over the entire model with a very light spraying of maybe a dirt color?

3. Try to cover it up with the weathering process?

4. Something I haven't thought of?

What really stinks is that I really like the pattern I've applied and except for these two dark green areas (one the hood of all places), I'd be weathering now instead of asking for help!

I would probably try using the airbrush to spray a light dust color over the model as the initial step to weather it. This should help to tone down the darker green and blend everything together. From there, go about it as you normally would. Practice on some scrap before you dust the model to get the technique down.

Thanks Rich. Any tips on dusting as I have never done it? I'm assuming using a large tip at a distance would be the way to go. I wish I had a practice piece to try the technique out on but I don't.
