Hello from Canada Marvin;

Welcome to Armorama.

Very good job on your model, well done. What did you use for weathering? How did you find the kit to build?

thanks and good job...

Hi Bob,
Building the kit is not too difficult. only the 100 galon tank on the back didnt fit. I just used stupid force and after serveral hits it fitted I airbrushed the engiegrills in black and masked this area. after that i airbrushed the hole tank in Revell #67. I demasked it and drybrsuhed the engine grills with Revell 67. The final step was to "map" it: You put some water onto the tank and drop some Acrylcolors (Revell 85, 87, 88) trough the water.

Well i need suggestions for my next project. Anyone goit any ideas?

Marvin-- I really like the work you did on the mufflers. How did you get them to that state of rust.
Thanks

Hi DJ,
I painted them in Revell #83, let it dry for about 5 min, and added a texture with a short old brush onto it. Then i mixed a brighter rust color and drybrushed the hole thing.
