Default RE: My frist attempt at Zimmerit

I've just added the camoflage and not real sure it is what I was aiming to get but it is here none the less. I used Tamiya colors, the green turned out much darker than I expected but maybe it is supposed to. It is XF-61 I believe. I tried to start doing it by hand but I did not like how it was looking and ended up airbrushing it. I thinned my paints about 50/50 with iso alcohol, using a #1 needle with #3 tip in a Paasche VL airbrush. My #1 tip was no where to be found. I will do the turret next, but wanted some feedback. Good bad what ever. All you painting vets chime in, tell me what is good what needs to change? I want to learn. I hope after a good wash it tones down the lines. I have no clue how i'm going to do the wash, and just the thought of it scares the you know what out of me.
