White sripes on the barell painted. The decals were no so good, so I decided to remove them. It was easier to mask and paint with airbrush.

Very nice, a Merkava 👍 In my opinion, airbrush "predusting" with a very light color around the lower half or third of the vehicle should work very well to get a solid foundation for weathering. Then just add a few dust washes and streaks and it should look the part... However I´ve also seen some photos of very muddy Merkavas around the Golan Hights Area. Anway I´m eager to see how this ends up 🙂
