For your first model, your off to a good start. There is plenty of time to worry about historical accuracy. You can prime with black and use lighter colours underneath. I do all my aircraft black even the blue undersides.

Would i be right in thinking your useing Tamiya paints.

No, I'm a bit scarce on resources and bought whatever was available at a reasonable price for what you got. Being unsure of what colors I'd be using I just got a set of 18 2oz. Apple Barrel acrylics on Amazon for 20 bucks. I figured it was a good little starter kit just to see what's what. I thought they handled just fine.

Ok, wel, thats something else you can build up as you go, along with referance material. If you can get a light buff colour, you can thin it a lot and spray a couple of coats and that leaves a good dust effect. But keep it light, the effect increases once it dries. My rule is, if i think it needs one more coat, leave it and let dry.

Very well exicuted for your first kit, as Bish said, historical accuracy will come in time. 

   Reading your captions it sounds as though you learn quickly, I suspect it won't be long before your giving tutorials of your technique.

     Your commander is AMAZING! The face and hand photographed well. The uniform looked great too. Keep up the exellent work.

For your first model that's pretty friggin' amazing!

Thanks! The Sd.kfz. 251 I'm working on now wil hopefully be a bit more realistic looking.

And thank you as well, Gamera.
