I finally pulled this off the shelf tonight. Sprayed a coat of Tamiya Panzer Grey. Pics forthcoming. I’ll probably going to ask what’s the next step I should be doing as far to make it a weathered look.

You can either go with a lighter version of the Panzer gray on the center of horizontal surfaces for and aged look, or just go straight to gloss coat for decals next.

Now what or how to tone it down for a nice weathered look. Hairspray method? Salt method? A lighter grey on top? If so, which grey RLM? This is my first time trying armor kit and weathering it somewhat.
