Weathering the Flak 37

I don't particulary like the "scrapyard look" that is so common these days in weathering a miniature. I believe that the equipment of an army at war doesn't last long enough to rust away, so I decided to keep my weathering to a ( what I believe to be ) realistic level. Don't misunderstand: I have much appreciation for the "scrapyard look" but I don't think it fits in a frontline stage and certainly not at the frontline of the 12 ss Pz div in Normandy 1944.

The paint on the Lafette  is likely to be damaged and worn out by the actions of the gun operators.

Scratches, mud splashes and rain streaks.

Difference in hue compared to the other side of the gun shield that catches more light and is likely to fade harder

And here's Cäsar. No weathering yet.
