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
DJ

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.
