JGSDF M4A3E8 weathering.

JGSDF M4A3E8

I am not sure if I am wild about the Wilder washes.I am not even sure if I am Wild about the Vallejo matte coat anymore. Maybe the moon wasn't in the seventh house. Or Jupiter didn't align with Mars. :bang head I also usually have better luck with getting the decal film to blend in. Maybe the OD filter set with MIG will work out.

Might try a mist of gloss to bring it back some. The decal on the turret blended great. :soldier

Ok, What am I missing? I've been looking over the pics & I don't see what the problem is :unsure: :idonno Looks damn good ta me!! (y)

It has a bit of frosting from the flat, nothing I would lose sleep over but a light gloss or stain could make it more neutral.

And you're right, it is damn good. It's a point where it would take a filter really well.

I sprayed another matte clear coat on earlier today. Looks better now. Less hot and humid today. I think that makes a difference. I really wish I would not have left my MIG pigment Russian Earth at home. :bang head I am not sure what I will use for dirt now,
