Tamiya's Surface Primer sprayed on :
Covered in Revell's Aqua Color matt black :
The Sand sprayed on :
The camo scheme added (Tamiya's Dark Green and Brown) :

After a couple of days I got satisfied ! I had to try different ways of creating the damage, but with an old (very old FUBAR fine brush) I had good results. On the pics you also see the metallic appearance by using Humbrol Metal coats.

Thank you for your attention.
Cheers Guy !
