Tamiya DAK 232
Posted by Tojo72 on Sunday, April 10, 2011 8:10 AM

Hello all,I got my 232 done this week.It went together real well,a typical Tamiya kit with no issues.I finished it in MM enamels and Vallejo paints.Weathering was done with Mig Pigments.I used the salt technique to achieve the worn paint look,hopefully it looks OK.I kept it fairly clean,just a burnt umber wash for grime,and some dusting of pigments.Thanks for looking:

Very nice.  I especially like the subtle signs of wear and weathering. YesWow

What colors MM enamel did you use?  I like MM paints, but their Dunklegelb seems too green.  Which color did you use for the DAK sand color?

Nice work on this one Anthony! DAK vehicles are always a fun subject to tackle and you've done this one justice. Beer

Gnarly. I have one of these in the stash and keep waffling as to the paint scheme. I have to admit that it looks quite classy in the DAK paint scheme with the chipped paint. Yes
