A desert Sherman in the making

Ok work has been a real bi...er bear, but I have gotten some build time in. Typical DML fare just have to plan ahead because of the fender skirts.
Here are some quickie photos.
I used Vallejo Model Color 916 Sand Yellow for the base coat. I added a drop of Dark Sand and a dab of white as well. It airbrushed just fine thinned with MM Acrylic Thinner and a drop of Vallejo retarder. The green is Lifecolor Olive Green and the border is Vallejo Off White.
Next time I will AB Vallejo using a larger .5mm tip. It sprays well but needs to be slightly thicker than Tamiya or MM Acryl.

Yes a good looking Sherman. How did you get the edges so sharp on the camo?

Thanks all!
I actually brush painted the dark green. All the PE bits and bobs looked so vulnerable, I just went and used a soft wide brush. The real tank was painted with hard edges so this is fairly accurate.

Markings are on and the weathering has begun. I'm trying to replicate the wear patterns of the crew in and around the tank.
Oil paint fading to come.

Brilliant modelling work! Looks all rough, crude, and worn, just like a real tank in the desert.
