Tobias, that's what I had planned at first, but then reading the PC III it seems it was Gelb/Green before Kursk. I may just do it for late summer after Kursk. I don't have the time to spare for confirmation and don't want to shelf this again, so I will leave it as is I guess. Gonna apply some numbers and start the filters soon.

i think it would look better with a darker base coat. a filter should fix that but it looks good to me rob

Spud, thanks mate. It will darken once the filters and washes are on. I am going to go apply some gloss, and then decs. Should start the weathering tonight/tomorrow. Oh yeah, need to slap some paint on the wheels while the decs dry.

I like it this way Rob, the camo looks great to me. I like the colors and the way you airbrushed them onto the model.

I think it looks great Rob!! No need to repaint it if your not gonna class it as a Kursk tiger.

My observation of Kursk paint jobs shows that the three color was used though maybe not as common as other colors.

my two cents exactly...it was more common to have DY Tigers with Green camo, but the three tone was there as well. Besides that it's very hard on B/W shots to see the tones of the green and brown apart. I'd leave it, looks great!
Cheers

Thanks for all the moral support guys. I am sticking with this camo and have the decs on and the first filters and pin wash on. Now for chipping, pin washes and some effects with oils. Will post pics later today.

Your comments are most appreciated guys. Here is what the turret looks like, just trying diff back drops to see what works best, and the settings. Will try to get an hour in today on this before I head out at 5pm.

Since the weather was great today I thought I'd finally wash all the salt off my car and also get a start on spring clean up around the house........BUT I also got a bit of bench time in as well. Started the first of many earth effects weathering. A lighter dust/dirt coat sprayed on using LifeColor railcar weathering set and light dust. One of the hardest things to do with light colored vehicles is to depict dust and other earth effects. The light dust and earth colors used on darker vehicles blend in with the base Gelb and is hard to make it stand out. So I am going with darker earth tones and more of the gray-green dust and dirt. A walk around my car and the dirt areas around the house gave me enough ref and inspiration. Still lots more to come.

Ooooh, hadn't seen the update pics after the camo. This is by far the hardest part of modeling for me...watching and learning!
