Hi!
I'm actually building a prototype of the Brazilian Osorio MBT in 1/35th, it was used in a trial and evalluations tests in Saudi Arabia mid of 80's.
My question is:
How much I can make the weathering on it?
Thanks on advance

Being that it was only a prototype, not too much as far as weathering. Of course a coating of "sand dust" would be appropriate. Certainly no paint chips and such. Maybe you could apply a little fuel spill if you wanted a little more than "out of factory" look. Also, as far as storage items, very little if any.
One thing that comes to mind for me is: what kind of markings would be on a vehicle of that nature.

Most likely only solid sand color, no markings at all.

As a matter of fact that is just the prototype code in white lettering on the side skirts, just it for markings....
