Since I'm going to paint some British tanks myself, a word on paints (brands) and techniques you've used here would be much appreciated.
All paints are Vallejo ModelAir or ModelColor. The base colour is Mike Starmer's recipe for KG#3, but it's been substantially lightened by dusting and panel-highlighting with the airbrush, with VMA
Grey Green and VMC
Buff.
Shading is all done with Citadel
Agrax Earthshade and
Nuln Oil. Highlighting is mainly via dry-brushing in VMC
Buff.
Chipping is done with a sponge, with Vallejo
Dry Rust, and the larger chips highlighted with VMA
Grey Green.
