Just a quick one to anyone that has a good idea on the weathering of tanks etc, not something ive done too well before. i recently purchased some Tamiya wweatheing sets and sticks which look good.
All ideas welcome!
Cheers

I thought the M10 was a tank destroyer not a tank?

I presume one would weather a tank exactly as one would weather a tank destroyer. They are both large, metal, rust-prone combat vehicles.

I found it useful to experiment with my weathering sticks on old, spare or broken model parts. You can even use spare plasticard, glue some layers on, and experiment that way. I went through about half my sticks before I got the hang of it, and loved every second spent working it out.

Of course!

they aren't that rust prone..but they get sun bleached , get dusty, and oily and muddy and a bit scratched if they survive long enough..which many didn't. Buy and airbrush is my advice
