Very nice progress, as usual it's a shame all that effort is eventually hidden under paint
As for the chipping...I see the problem there. I'd go with option 1, but afterwards perhaps do some extra chipping with a different method on the spots where both camo colours have worn away to reveal the original basecoat. I'm quite a fan of sponge chipping, and it's a very simple and reliable method with a bit of practice.
I honestly see no way to do both types of chipping with the hairspray method, but maybe someone else has a better idea?
Hope That Helps?
HTH'?

Thanks Steve.
I'm ex military and emergency services so have an entire vocabulary based on acronyms........it's probably possible to hold a conversation without using any words containing more than 4 letters!

Back to the turret for now.
Some Eduard PE added, texture redone (I think the way I did it before was a little soft) and loaders periscope given some attention:

Hi Guys,
Not been on this model for some time with a new job and the hustle and bustle of daily life but I'm back on it now.
I wasn't happy with the colour scheme nor the chipped finish, I thought it looked a bit naff so I found a 3 colour Syrian scheme and loosely based this on it, I had a crack at colour modulation (or paint rendering, whatever you want to call it) with airbrush and Tamiya acrylics and with a brush and oils.

Some tidying of the pinwash to do then a brown filter on the turret.

Lovely work on the camo and blending/modulation/oil dot render depending on whose style to are following.
It is certainly a good base for the final washes and weathering.
Nice one

Thanks Steve,
I'm new to all this malarkey, what do you mean by, "... who's style I'm following"? I just thought that colour modulation and rendering were types of tonal variation to mimic shadow and fading used by modellers following a particular process?
