My 2 cents. I recommend a different technique for 1/16 armor vs 1/35 armor.

Visit here for 2 great tutorials on approaching 1/16 scale AFVs paint and weathering:

and

An oil wash at 1/35 scale works for AFVs, but really, not a useful approach at 1/16 scale, to big an area to cover well and the wash results are kinda disappointing at 1/16 scale.

I recommend you use Tamiya acrylic paint and or artist acrylic paint, and or Testor's Lacquer or Tamiya Synthetic Lacquer sealed with Testor's Lacquer Dullcote.

For weathering study MIG Production Pigments, Tamiya Weathering Kits, PrismaColor Artist Chalk and pencil lead techniques.

Here are my models using a dry brush wash using both artist acrylic paint and Tamiya acrylic paint atop airbrushed Tamiya arcylic paint for the "Gritty" Jadgpanther.

The newer in the field Panther G uses Testor's Lacquer rattle can paint and is sealed with Tesor's Dullcote. The desert worn Kubel uses a similar method as the Panther, but way more weathering.

Thus weathered with: Dry brush water based artist acrylic paint and Tamiya acrylic paint , MIG Production Pigments, Tamiya Weathering Kit A, PrismaColor Artist Chalk and pencil lead techniques and sealed with Dullcote.

The last 2 images are 1/35 builds that used very light oil washes and some dry brushing atop airbrushed Tamiya acrylic paint sealed with Dullcote.
