Yes Sir,

Take your fleshed out Panzer Gray...I mean a very small color change, that might not be noticed until it dries. Then you go in with the Filter First. The Filter is meant to blend and soften. Once you are happy with that. Take your darker wash and go to town. Now here is antoher little trick. Beforeyou place the wash..lets' say in a line. Touch the area with a brush loaded with clean thinner. You will see a much better capillary flow into the desired area. BIG THING to remember! Subtle.....is the key. (I have a problem with this area.)

Then take your base color add a tiny bit of white. Use a 000 brush and make some scratches, and chips. Then do the same with a dark brown, maybe even a few with the primer color of the real tank. Now when you are happy with that, make some grime of black and brown and heavily thinned. Then just touch an area say at the top of the hull. With a cotton swab pull the paint down to make rain streaks. Also use this where water would pool up and run down the tank.

Now how did your tank fuel? Chances are it was not a clean affair. Really dirty these areas up, but not the caps. Trust me you keep those clean to prevent dirt from getting into your fuel.
