A very nice job on the camo Chris. I have 1/76 one of these in the stash to make one day...

A black wash is added

The bogies and tracks are weathered next
Image

Flat finnish is applied and the tracks are given a light silver highlight to show wear, and the brass painted shells are added to the racks
Image

I forgot to drill out the exhaust pipe, so a dot of black is added, not the best solution but better then nothing

Image

And the job is done
