Ok time for some more paint. Following on from the darker greens, i have now added the highlights.
I mixed Olive drab, dark green and yellow green. Spraying progressively lighter shades by adding more of the yellow green, this colour isn't as harsh as white and gives a softer hue to the mixture. I have also sprayed the hatches and cupola and tool clasps. In keeping the these pieces separate and spraying at another time, the mixture of paint will be slightly altered from the original paint batch. This will give yet another variation to the colours on the model. Next will be a bit of tidying up some parts with an overcoat of thinned olive drab/dark green, then satin varnish will be sprayed over the entire model to protect all the hard work done so far and as a base layer for the decals.

Black undercoat for deep shadows.

Green coats applied.

Turret with highlights. Note the front upper plate is lighter than the hatch plate.

Darker tones on the side of the turret add a depth to the green and shadows.

Hull with highlights added. You can see the multi layers of paint and the myriad of colours.

Hull side shot.

Hull frontal plates, again with the highlights added.
