Cheekykiwi Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I've painted the M10 IIC Achilles in AK Real Colors SCC 15 then sprayed it with Tamiya clear after that some pin washes of W&N raw umber and lamp black then Vallejo matt varnish only on the upper and lower hull so far/drive sprockets and idler wheels. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Npal21 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 What's the white/light colour on the idlers? What did you thin the AK Real Colour with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white on the idlers is actually Vallejo steel its just the reflection from the flash and I thined the AK Real Colour with Tamiya Lacquer thinner retarder type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that explains it. It looked like fine masking tape. I used the same AK colour and used mr colour levelling thinner. Your paintwork and detail painting looks great. Keen to see more!

Cheekykiwi Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Does anyone know if Vallejo 70.520 matt varnish can be thinned with Tamiya X-20A or is it best to stick to the Vallejo airbrush thinner. Thank Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I've based the weather on M4 Sherman's in Italy because most of photos show them to be extremely dusty because this Achilles is from 93rd anti-tank regiment, first infantry division in Italy October 1944 and its hard to find photos of the Achilles at this time period so I went for the next best thing which is the M4 sherman.
