WIP: Tiger I late, ready for weathering.

I’ve worked on this model quite a bit the last week. Airbrushed the dark yellow base coat as well as the red brown camouflage, both with Tamiya acrylics. I primed the tracks with Krylon grey primer, which is quite dark, and then sprayed a light coat of earth color, so that the finish is not uniform, turned out pretty well in my opinion. I installed the tracks, which for some reason were a link short on one side (they were ok when I first assembled them). Painted all tools and cables and gave the whole model a coat of Future in preparation for the weathering. I also did some experiments for the rusted exhauts, you can see the result after 4 layers of paint (light pink acrylic base, dark brown oil paint in random dots, raw umber watercolor glaze, red brown acrylic glaze)
