Again,Thanks to you all.Now one more question,but first,bear with me.What I'm trying to do is;add as much detail to this kit.Not a very good kit,just want to make look as good as I can.  

Now,for the question.Do the black out lights (mounted to inside of running lights) have white or red lens ?

Roy,I have to ask,what is the photo of ?

The seats of a Sdkfz 222 would have been a black faux leather like material, not canvas. FYI

Dry brush with a lighter color,I put some on the brush and then wipe most of it off,then just touch the highpoint or the edges,it simulates wear.Takes practice to get right amount on the brush,and to get the right feel.

As far as pigments,I don't mix my own,I have some pre- mixed pots from Mig,AK,or Vallejo.

You can use a wash to settle in the crevices,dry brush a lighter color to show wear,and dust with pigments.
 Thanks for the help Tojo72.Been several years since I worked on a model.If you would,remind me how to dry brush and mix pigments. Thanks Again from an old War Horse

Just laying out a German Armored Car,a Sd.Kfz 222.First mode I've started in years.Anyway,would like some ideas on how to get the seats to have worn canvas look.Seats don't really show,but would be good practice for future builds. Thanks.
