Default RE: M4A1 Sherman from BOB (Grizzly)

Thanks Blitz.
Painting is taking two days longer than expected (whilst doing other stuff too), started on Wed and still not there . First time airbrushing a model, its seems the thinned OD green is way lighter than neat, and thats lighter still than hand brushing it. So after three coats of thinned (about half and half) looking crap, I applied about three neat coats and am close to correct shade (another one or two coats), that seems like a lot to me.....
Anyhow this is how it appears now;





the lighting here is odd so neither picture looks how I see it, but at least an idea.
Got some weathering to do when I get to a shade I like, any tips welcome though

Spent some time between coats doing the .50 cal, filling gaps, adding wooden bits, drilling out the vent holes and end and then painting. Accidentaly left some water from cleaning the airbrush and it came out all wet (was suposed to be matt black, I decided to leave it and it turned out like this;



Cheers
