M-113 Zelda (My first armor in years)

I think Dwight got it right (in the Dioramas forum)

Good luck and post pictures as things progress.

Well first I would lay clearcoat on it to get a good Sheen then do a good wash with a dark brown color(never black) the clearcoat will let the wash run smoothly through all the bolts and creveses after the wash is dry , take care of any nasty blotches with the base color then highlight all the edges and raised features with a lighter tone of the base color, that should get you started, this is a M113 APC kit by academy that is pretty much the same kit, I used all the techniques as mentioned, GOOD LUCK!!

Good luck but I'm sorry I cant help you there
