Hi, Excellent job, very fine. Not only on the building and general painting but esp. on the weathering effects. Fantastic. Since Ron has already asked the obvious question about the rust stains and such, I'll just wait with him on that.
Keep up the great work. A real inspiration for the rest of us.
Take care, Sgirty

I'll try to answer your questions, sorry if my english is not good enouh, it's not my main language....
@ propboy44256
I completed this kit about 3 weeks. the longest step is painting&weathering, because I like to weathering my model little by little
@ Hoovie & sgirty
I used oil paints and pastel chalk for rust or whare stains. I mixed oil paint + tamiya enamel thinner (thinned oilpaint), then brush to the model with a fine brush (technique is like dry brushing but oil and paint mixing more like mix for washing). for rust color I use pastel chalk, I mixed several color.
@Martinnnn
thanx for put the pics on forum.
It should had zimmerit, and why I didn't put zim
1st reason: I don't have experience to make zimmerit with putty, and it's difficult to find after market products in my country
2nd : I tried to practice my weathering, and I was affraid to ruins my model with bad zimmerit. Next time, I'm going to build with zimmerit
