Do you mind if I ask what is the Field Gray equivalent for tamiya acrylics
dont use field grey as that is more of a green colour.
i used german grey mixed with light grey and slowly add dark blue untill it has a blue grey colour.

Oh wow! Karl....you've got to say how you did that
vinnie i wanted to do this kit as a battle worn tank,as it was deployed at kursk it must have gotten very dirty.
after i had painted the base colour i lightly covered it in a muddy brown colour at the bottom of the model,then gave it some darker grey here and there,then sprayed a lighter grey in some areas.once this was done i coated it in future and gave it a few burnt umber washes,i also used the new Tamiya weathering powders and just brushed it all over the model.
any way cheers all and thanks for the comments :-)
