Hi everyone im larry and im new

. Anyway ive painted a few models before... mainly cars and some figures but now tanks have caught my interest.
I was wondering what types of paint (matt, satin, normal, and gloss) you use and when, when it comes to tanks (im using humbrol).
I recently got myself a tiger 1 and am unsure as to what to use and where. With cars i just used the normal glossyness but im not sure about tanks. I was thinking perhaps satin would do the job. With matt for the clothing of the figure coming out of the top hatch.
Any comments or/and help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, larry
