| Building: this is the Tamiya kit built straight from 
          the box with some brake and fuel lines added. I also added a Verlinden 
          50.cal machine gun.  Painting: Tamiya acrylics followed with coat of Vallejo matt varnish 
          to seal the decals. Weathering with black and umber oils thinned heavily, 
          second weathering with Tamiya buff. Drybrushing was done with Vallejo 
          khaki mixed with white. After this came some 'spattering' with heavily 
          thinned buff. Rainstreaks were applied with heavily thinned (with water) 
          Tamiya buff then a coat of buff sprayed on by airbrush; this process 
          was repeated several times. After this a heavily thinned wash with Europe 
          dust and beach sand (Mig Pigments) was applied over the entire vehicle. 
          Another heavier wash was applied to the lower regions. The semi-wet 
          mud was achieved by mixing raw umber, plaster and Mig Pigments. For 
          questions about the techniques I used feel free to contact me at serge@werkmannen.be
