This model was finished before I was able to purchase an airbrush and so I used a Tamiya's spray can paint (TS-46 Light Sand) for the base coat and applied all the extra paint with a paint brush. For weathering, I used Humbrol's enamel wash and powder carved from pastel sticks mixed with wash for mud effects. The tank commander's MOPP suit and armored vest was modeled with Tamiya's Quick Putty.

Hey there,
It has been a while since I built this but as far as I can remember, the first thing I did was to spray paint the whole tank as mentioned above.
The next step was applying Humbrol's Dark Brown Wash with a brush throughout the whole tank, then using paper towels to dab at the model in order to remove some excess wash especially on flat surfaces as I didn't want the model ending up too dark in general.
After letting the kit completely dry, I then applied Humbrol's Sand Wash throughout the whole tank.
I think I repeated applying wash and dabbing a few times till I was satisfied with the outcome. I was very new to weathering so there was a lot of trial and error as well.
Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the building process as back then I wasn't thinking of putting up a blog.
Hope this helps. Happy modelling!
