It just looks really wierd first being so dark, and then the zimmerit is all weathered, and the flats look factory pristine, If it where me Id give it a bit of diffusing with the tan basecoat to tone down the stripes, and decal. But hey, your tank man,I aint gunna tell you how to do your tank.

So when im doing a wash with tanks that have the dunkelgelb for german armor, or tan tanks in general, I used a wash made by citadel called "Seraphim Sepia" you can reverse engineer it if you like but I find anything else too dark for a tan tank, although I do use a brown and black wash in strategic locations like where there would be grease or water would carry engine soot and such. Again I use Citadel products for those; Flat Nuln Oil which is black.(they make a gloss Nuln oil, and that works for spilled petrol) and Agrax Earth, which is a medium brown. They might not be everyones cup of tea as they are an acrylic wash and dont flow as nicely as an enamel based wash. that being said, I personally like them and what I use.

I do not pre-shade my “battling” tanks with paint. I do dust on chalks and then rub it into the high points and panel joints. I typically only use three maybe four colors of chalks mostly bright rust, dark rust and black. Then some oil to simulate fuel spills or joint grease spread. After that I let natural weathering dirt, dust and mud do the rest. Usual it takes about a month of use for enough natural weathering builds up before I call a tank done. In the above Centurion photos it has almost no natural weathering and to me eye still has a long way to go to achieve the grimy field use I like on my “battling” tanks.
Now my display tanks are a totally different story. I use completely different methods to achieve a given look on them. Mostly done though paint with chalk hi lights.
