Thanks to all for the nice commands. I like to spend time, if i can help. So don´t worry

@1sgt

As example i take my sherman




This one have an two tone , but i think dosent matter it´s 2 or 3 tone color painted


next step if i was at you place, i would do shadows. So, if you are not shure where the shadows are take an lamp, let it shine to the Modell. Put the Modell at the Ground, the Lamp at a table and see where the Shadows are. At the dark sides you can spray cloudly khakidrab ( fit to the most colors). If you are not shure, the an Plasticcard and test it there. Also, spray it very thin around the mainlines and corners.

next step ( you don´t need this mostly times at 2 and more tone tanks, is just important for 1 tone ) brighness at top of the tank, looks like the sun optical whitening.

Take the ground color ( brown, green, whatelse you have ) mix this a little brighter, or take an complete tone lighter. Again, you spray this cloudly to the parts. Hope you understand what i mean.

Did you have some Pics of your tank? Makes it easier.

If not, please take pictures from all sides and post it into this thread. At weekend i will take the pics and look what i can do for u
