That looks great!
I really like the color variations and weathering. Those rust stains look good, but a couple of them could be a little overstated (on the third pic from the bottom, on the hanble bar). How did you paint the exhaust pipes? They look cool.

Nice job. Model looks great. The headlight looks very good and your weathering really ages the beast nicely. Looks like your typical beat up russian equipment. Good job

I used Testors Rust enamel (I dont remember the no.). The paint had dried almost completly in jar (was thick like cream) so I added enamel paint thinner (produced by polish company "Wamod"). The thinner vapoures very fast so the paint dries quickly. Thanks to that every brush stroke leaves slithgly diffirent tint plus very interesting matt surface. In the end I airbrushed black to simulate fumes marks.
