JGSDF Type 87 Weathering Complete

The model is now all done bar finishing off the figures and sorting out a base for it. For the mud and dust on the lower hull I used tamiya buff, deck tan and white to match the dust colour I added to the upper hull. I then added mud splatters with a brush flicked with my finger. After a matt coat all the lights where painted and clear lenses added to the front. Then the final bits to add were the periscope lenses, gunners sight glass, mirrors and antennas. The only area to get any pigments was the exhaust and then only a small amount to add the distinctive sooty look.
