I just bought this tank its a Heng Long up graded with metal tracks and gears and idler wheels 1/16. I would like to give it a bit of a paint job. I want to do either tan camo or leave it gray and add aging with dry brushing and other colors to make it look used. I have never done anything with a tank or 4 wheels before. I was for about 4 years into flying RC planes and built several. I also had two drones I played with. I think I got an OK deal it was 219 for this model.Upgraded steel gear box, upgraded metal tracks and and metal sprocket and idle wheels, 360 degree rotating turret, turning electric slip rings, hand made and installed on tanks not factory configuration, Modified 3800mah High power rechargeable Modified sound box hand made and installed more realistic sounds and simulation engine and cannon not factory, If anyone could give me opinions on this model and if anyone has a video or picutres of a paint scheems for a tiger 1 I would appreciate any help. I will be picking up a new air brush as I sold my modeling things off when I got out of the model building.

Hello EdTeach and welcome to the tank forum! I don't know a thing about the particular model you have but I do know that You Tube is an awesome source for any kind of paint and weathering for armor models.
What you might try is checking out a bunch of different "how to" videos on You Tube and find a paint job that you like and see how they did it. There is some incredible talent out there and they have made their techniques available to all of us.
The IPMS is another great source for info regarding paint & weathering for your Tiger.
Best of luck and when you get done post a photo for us,
Larry
