Starting with a white prime on most of the vehicles will let me have a bit of a faded look to the vehicles also it lets me mask the white stars on them.

I cut the stars from masking tape using some plastic decorative stars I bought ages ago.

Placed on the Tank and the truck.

I wanted to experiment this time with preshading by spraying Tamiya Olive Drab

Then the vehicles were sprayed with thinned down Tamiya Nato Green. I went a bit lighter coverage on the truck compared to the tank which makes it look a bit sun faded.

With the masks peeled and assembled they look good already. I still need to add washes and some drybrushing to finish them off.
