- The exhausts were painted with the various colours of the AK Interactive “Rust” set (AK11605).
- Paint chips were simulated using AMMO “Medium Olive Green” paint (A.MIG-0609) applied with a sponge, reflecting perhaps an original green colour?
- The engine was painted in various dark colours and metallics – I did not intend to be too realistic here, as almost all of it would be hidden in the finished model.
- The entire model was washed with a dilute mixture of Winsor & Newton “Raw Umber” oil paint in enamel thinners – the excess being cleaned up with a dry brush.
- The entire model was sprayed with a 1:2 mixture of Mr.Color “Flat Clear” (182) and Mr.Color Leveling Thinner.
- Following this a 5% mixture of Tamiya “Buff” (XF-57) in Mr.Color Leveling Thinner was sprayed over the entire model, to tie all the colours together and present an impression of dust.
- The wheels were brushed with AK Interactive “North Africa Dust” (A.MIG-3003) pigment.
- I put together a quick and simple base for it to sit on, as I like to “pin” the wheels of soft skinned vehicles.
