She`s had a satin varnish coat and a thinned dark wash applied but not really noticable in the coupla pics, also some pin washing along the panel lines.........my main aim was to do the effects on the front bumper, i left it in the kit chrome rather than strip it with Mr Muscle but simply applied a coat of neat matt varnish over the kit chrome which effectivly dulls that horrid shine.........the rest is just Vallejo Smoke and Vallejo German camo black brown, i will add some more tones with pigments at a later stage but for now it good enough for me..............unfortunately the pics don`t make it look as nice as it does on the bench
Next up will be the rear bumper and door handles....
Cheers folks

Thanks fellas Steve.......isn`t that what most FIAT`s are like in general (Fix It Again Tomorrow) Once i start on the inside i`ll add a bit more to the donk colour wise

Two updates I missed and now telling you I think this is the best rust replicationizing I've seen in a long time.

Why thankeee brotha G , it`s a shame the lighting is washing it out a bit even though i`ve tried editing the exposure..........the effects are much better and slightly darker on the bench

Bill...lol Ok chaps.........i`ve made a start on the front hood and blended it in with the main body colour.........iv`e then done a satin coat and then a thinned dark wash.......you can see the difference the wash makes from the first 2 pics, the second 2 show it after a thin was, it`s nothing to stark but just enough to dirty the white.
The hood is only dry fit btw way...........got plans
Im waiting on somat to arrive for this so i might jump from the body to the `Injun`and start there
