The white can be tidied up John if need be but to be honest ya next stages will blend it in ok.........looks fab mate
When i did my camo on the Fauni just got some 1" wide lo-tac cheap decorators masking tape and just cut shapes with a blade, i then gently stuck down the shaped edge and AB`d up to it......that leaves a nice clean edge with no over spray risks. The tricky part with the Faun was negotiating delicate bits of etch whilst trying to develop the pattern, especially around the pipe work ........on ya tank ya have lots of nice flat surfaces.......ya can just cut some similar shapes to the outer edge of the white and sharpen the edge off if ya really feel ya want to.......sounds long winded but it`s a ferkin` breeze mate....honest .......just remember to mask the side you wanna protect
The only reason i like this method is the fact i struggle with free hand AB on stuff like this........my needle is to large and i hate over spray which is what i get......by using my method it`s kept tidy
Soz mate......thread hijack over

White camo over dark colors or vise versa is pain . Over spray shows up easily . A .022 needle and low pressure helps . But you got to have the correct AB . Even at that I went back and forth with colors for touch up on the T 72 . Weathering helps also . End of another hijack .

Greek scheme is realy beautiful! JK, try to use automotive paints. They don't smell good (use mask, please) but as they have a really fine pigments, they spray in a very good way. All my 3 tone vehicles was sprayed with automotiva paints that I mixed to get the correct colors:

Guys thank you all VERY MUCH! The problem was created from too much heat and humidity. The AB couldn't stop spraying water even with two water traps. Anyway with some drybrushing with a very fine brush it was fixed. The build is finished, i tried to achieve a wet look, if you look at the wheels you'll see water and mud and a moisty turret. Without a dio it maybe looks odd but that's how they usually look when used. The red dirt that exist in the areas that they are stationed was achieved using hagiography powders. I hope you like it.

You gotta be kiddin us John . You came in here with possibly the most complicated build and finish first . Looks darned fine fella . The wet running gear is very good indeed, and the dirt looks just like that what we get here on the Cypriot potatoes . Maybe a small dio later eh, that should slow you down a bit..... δεν
