Painting United States Tanks - Colour Modulation Without an Airbrush [How I Paint Things]

United States and Allied armor (or armour, if you’re of the British or then-Dominion persuasion!) is something you’ll almost certainly end up painting at some point if you’re wargaming WWII. Thankfully, there’s a ton of ways to add a little visual interest to ’boring’ green tanks! Thanks to Warlord Games for sending along the M4 Sherman for this guide! Check out the pre-order page for Achtung Panzer here: There’s a bunch of other army boxes and sets to either add a bunch of armour to your Bolt Action collection, or get a platoon of tanks ready for Achtung Panzer and wallop an opponent across the table!
