I did not know that the Vallejo Matt varnish can be thinned down with thinners. Any specific brand?o_O

Great finish, great tank!!:cool::cool::smiling3:

Well all done. Dried and put away.
Paints are a mix of Model color and Model Air. The 'windows' with Humbol clear in red and green. All Weathered with Vallejo pigments, sprayed directly with Vallejo matt varnish thinned with airbrush thinners.
Hope you like it.

Awesome build Ian, loving the finish, perfect balance in my humble opinion!
