Default King Tiger

Hi All,
I am wanting to tone down camo and weather my K.T. from Phil. I was thinking of a light tan over spray from a rattle can or a light wash with a one inch brush. I have continued the camo on the wheels. Your thoughts on this would be most helpful.
Thanks
Harle

Hello Harle,
I would take a little dark wash.To the wheels there is to much different colours.
That was forbidden because while driving it is looking like waving flaggs.
Change the Number on the Turret.
But you build a great looking Tank.
Best wishes from Germany
Peter

I agree with the statement about the road wheels. I generally do them in the base color and then just and mud and grease effects.
