1/35 Eastern Express KV-1s, part 2

Back to the KV after a long period of inactivity. Major construction is done so I've started the painting/weathering phase by base coating the entire model with Model Masters Medium Green #1913 rattle-can spray. When I first sprayed it on I thought it was a disaster - too much paint - but once it dried it looked okay. The next step involved dry brushing with gradually lighter mixes of MM # 1786 Medium Field Green + MM # 2088 Sandgelb with additional lighter dry brushing of Medium Field Green + MM




To soften the drybrushing and add some tonal variation I then added dabs of Light Permanent Green oil paint on all the major surfaces and brushed then out to a very thin, imperfect coat. The effect is subtle and the pictures don't really do justice.
