Nice work! May I ask how you did the dust on the Opel? You really nailed that effect!

Thanks for the comments.
Mike, I sprayed MIG dust on the sides with low pressure. Then used a flat brush dipped in mild mineral spirits, which I removed most of the mineral spirits from. I then drug the brush from the top down. It kind of steaks the dust paint making it look like rain effects on the road dust. Takes a little practice, which I'm still working on. Since the body camo paint was Tamiya and the MIG was enamel, the camo paint was not effected. That's the most important part.
