I think in all honesty you will need to clean off the current paint job and start again with a good base coat, some form of red lead colour would be good (perhaps even authentic?") then re spray again, try masking off areas with cotton wool instead of masking tape etc, cotton wool tends to give a better blended effect. I also think the colours you are using are too pristene,I think some mellowing of the shades willl help, look at photographs of real tanks and they all have a dusty grubby appearance which mellows the original colours. What you use to achieve these effects is your decision but I tend to overbrush with weak paint solutions of various shades to make it work. I read a great article on shading at armorama.com which I found very comprehensive and very very helpfull.
Regards
