Oil washes are one of the easier methods for weathering models, so give it another try!  Like the others have said, black or a dark brown PIN wash in panel lines and around details will accentuate them and make them "pop" visually.  A burnt umber or lighter brown overall wash will alter the color (darken) the base paint so take that into consideration. 

I usually use burnt umber on vehicles with a sand, brown or yellow base and black on vehicles with gray or dark green/O.D. base. Put your decals on, when they're dry coat with clear gloss again then put on your wash. When the wash is dry put on your clear flat coat then proceed with the rest of your weathering. Try a pin wash at first if you're new to washes, the pin wash will give you a little more control over what's going on, but remember, if you make a mistake have a Kleenex handy to soak it up. Washes are very forgiving.

Good ! You'll be amazed at how much more detail you can bring out on your model once you get the hang of doing oil washes . Myself i use ivory black for the initial wash and then burnt umber for the second wash . I seal the black wash with Future before i apply the second wash .
