The commander figure and anti aircraft gun were primed using MIG-2005 black primer, looks like a really shiny metalic in this picture but it is more of a semi-gloss black to the naked eye, the commander figure is supposed to be painted in tamiya xf-1 matt black, i thought the primer might have given me that kind of result on it's own but it appears I will have to go over it with xf-1 after all ![]() The fuel drums were just primed with the rust primer I used the same method on the turret concentrating on areas that I thought would rust more than others The underneath of the tank was given the same treatment and although you won't really see this, it was good practice for me and might add some pre shading areas, thats the thought behind it anyways and at least I know it will be there lol green on green is not an easy task for a novice airbrusher!Įverything was given a green coat and then I thought parts like the drive wheels and idlers would rust a lot and also some of the road wheels so i went over them with the mig rust primer In hindsight I should probably of just primed the whole model in the rust primer but as I am new to airbrushing and weathering I didn't and was quite happy with the results. I then decided I might try my hand at the "hairspray technique" for the first time and thought a good foundation for the rusty spots would be to use MIG-2006 rust primer around the areas that I thought might rust and perhaps create a little bit of pre-shading in the process. ![]() First I applied a mist coat on all the parts, waited 30 minutes and applied another coat, waited 30 then a final coat of primer and let the whole lot dry for a good 24 hours. I painted with an airbrush for the first time today on a model (I have been practicing but not on a model before) and laid down a base undercoat of Mig's Russian green primer MIG-2009.
