Ronan, the colors were Dark Yellow, mixed with deck tank and then adding white as I went for a basecoat. This was done in a modualtion style.
After that the red was added using red brown also being lightened a bit with deck tan...the reen was olive drab lightened with deck tan as well...
in the pics you can see how it first looked when applied this way. The colors, though moulated a bit, are dull and do not blend well until you add a filter to bring it all together. You need to do this carefully so you do not take too much away from the modulation details and darken the tank too much. It has to be a slow process. Though i do add most of the chipping effects first and then the filter so it looks more natural. I painted all the chips on this moel, and chose not to use other techniques. Anyway, the primer was a Vallejo black primer and then I painted the entire tank inTamiya hull red which looks like the real german tank primer. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
