I can understand your frustration. However, if you want to keep the Marder grey, then one idea is to take a paper towel, soak it in the thinner and wipe away mos of the Buff, leaving just enough around the rivets and in the joints. Take all the rest off the main, smooth surfaces and gun barrel. This will make it look like dust and dirt got into the recesses of this thing. Then weather as usual and you might just have a more magnificent finish than you expected.
Looking forward to seeing more.

I will give that a try,and see how much I can remove.
What's the grey color?

The base color of panzer gray.
I'm sorry, what brand? Did you put a seal coat between the grey and buff?

The gray is Tamiya. I sprayed wax as a barrier. I have used both wax,like on my winter StuG,and hair spray like on the winter mecha. I can't remember if I used pump or aerosol hair spray however.
Well have you tried to scrub it down with some water then?

I see that Chad. You're doin' a good job of it too. As it looks in the last pics, looks as tho it went thru one heck of a mud puddle :drinks
Great, now wait till you get your airbrush fixed then come back and feather it in.

I agree Chad, that looks far, far better. As mentioned by Bob, now come back with the airbrush When it's fixed and feather everything together. You'll have an amazing finish.
