Went to add the decal before adding the white wash, and can i find it anywhere - nope no chance so have ordered a new sheet from pendighaus in Germany - expensive lesson learned !

Spent an enjoyable 40 minutes in my new spray zone (utility room, really handy having a tap next to you for quick cleaning) adding some winter camo paint, first pass a light dusting of white, then white with a small amount of Ochre khaki in controlled areas, followed by a final pass of white on all the high points, hatches, etc and a high mist of the whole tank. Next the real fun begins with weathering.

Model distressed, just need to increase the density of mud, used the new splashes from Ammo - on one part of rear fender, needs more volume i think;
