The KV-1 I did first, last winter. I got the tank with the intention of trying a winter whitewash. I did the hairspray chipping technique, but I hand brushed diluted Tamiya XF White. It worked well. I followed tutorial videos on YouTube for this process.
The T-34 I did a few weeks ago. I am using it as a test mule for my winter Tiger project. I again used the hairspray technique but it doesn't behave the same since I used Ammo/Mig "Washable White" for camouflage. The hairspray really isn't necessary with the washable white. I used it as a guarantee that the white would come off since it was my first time using this product.
The KV-1 I intend to keep this way. The T-34 I had already decided that I wanted to refit and repaint this spring.
The Ammo/Mig washable white is a cool medium to play with and learn. It is easily manipulated when I got the hang of how it worked, reacted and looked. I experienced several days after applying it able to reactivate it with just warm tap water and a brush or sponge. It does eventually dry to a point that it is not able to be manipulated. It is very important to note that I applied a Matte clear coat to the tank after the white before any subsequent weathering.
