First step get tamiya tank,
Second step use tamiya primmer, serisouly
third step, use tamiya paint, enamal and acrylic
fourth, acrylic over enamel.
fiftieth, like you said, lots of practice.

My next build, Im going to work more on rust TEXTURE, like, with baking soda or something similar. On builds Ive seen, it makes it a lot more realistic. On my KV-2, the 'rust browl' Testors enamel just looks brown, until you start playing with it, adding metalic paints, letting it stain / run, etc .

Im happy with how it looks now.
