                        You can get a nice even coat with a spray can. When I first came to the Hobby I prefered Tamiya Cans. If you can get yourself an airbrush, I would highly recommend that( only if you are planning to stay in the hobby). You will be able to do alot more and alot easier.
                        I am not sure how you could do the dust with a spray can, possibly just a quick spray.

                        Try the paining forum, those guys are really good at this kind of stuff.

                        Hi Everyone

                        Finally got myself a full-option 1/16 Tiger I after I first saw it many many years ago. It's a return to a hobby I gave up 20 years ago. Well it's my first R/C tank and after opening up the box and having a look at all the parts involved, I'm wondering if I bit off more than I can chew!

                        Anyway, I'll give it my best shot and this forum has been invaluable in providing inspiration for me to get started. Thanks guys!!

                        Just need to ask a newbie question...I plan to paint my Tiger in German Grey. Will it be ok to just use a spray can instead of investing in an airbrush to get decent results? I don't expect to get the same results as some of the incredible work that I see here on this forum. Is it possible to paint the muzzle brake and exhaust with black spray to simulate carbon stains and dust?

                        Thanks!
