Newbie here so be gentle :). My first ever airbrushed model but no weathering yet, not sure if i should try to weather it or even how to go about doing it.

It's a nice clean build for your first Air-brushing job. If you're nervous about attempting weathering it, maybe just coat her with a wash or two and rub them off to leave some highlights. The beauty about washes on top of a gloss coat is, you can always take the wash completely off if you're not happy with it. I always add some color tone to my washes for blending and highlighting, but, I only build aircraft, so the guys with all the experience with armor building will give you all the advice you need regarding this subject matter.

Good luck! :)

Cheers, :cheers2:

For first time you do it really well. :th:
Add to the tank only so much that you're satisfied. From time to time you will be more courageous.
The nice thing with armored vehicles is, if something breaks or you are not satisfied with your paint job add dirt or it is a battle damage... :lol:
