I usually do mine with a basecoat of flat black then spray on Humbrol rust, and finally dryb rush with gunmetal. Seems to look ok to me but others will probably have some more definitave answers for you.

Nothing much to add to what the others have said , but if you are showing a tank in white washed condtion therefore during winter , a good coating of mud/dirt would also look good to reflect the wet conditions found during that season
