Space1999 tanks - Painting

Like other Space1999 Earth's vehicles and ships, the base color is not pure white, but slightly off, so I mixed Tamyia matt white with a few drops of sky gray (Tamiya Xf19). Placed on white, the mixture looks gray. But in a darker environment, the eye and the camera accommodates it as a white.
(Today, if you look closely, you will find an off topic intruder)
The provided decals are of average quality : some have an apparent and unsightly frame, colors are too dark (the orange is brown red for exemple). So I realized most of panels, gray and black by hand, with the airbrush or other sparing decals as appropriate.
After a coat of clear varnish, a light black wash is applied to enhanced the details, then a matt coat : PrinceAugust Air thinned with Tamiya thinner (this trick avoids white marks).
