Okay, sounds good. Both colours are good, I havn't done anything wrong just yet I have no idea what I'm going to do with this tank lol. I'm going to finish it and then look at it... I don't have radio's or IR just yet... maybe in a few months.
I have no real idea on how to paint this tank either, I'm kinda just going with what Tamiya are recomending. One of the commentors mentioned this is a "base" colour. I thought it was going to be the colour of the tank with some camoflouge I did put primer onto the tank, a red oxide on most of the plastic/ metal parts.

I've been looking into the weathering of the tank. I'll keep on reading and see how things get on... In the meantime I really appreciate any more info.

Thanks,
