Here are some rusty bits. I have started down the path of rustification, weathering the front suspension. Some lighter rust tones are next and then............I haven't got the slightest idea, I just wander down the path of sticking whatever I come across to the next on the list until that assembly is complete.๐ง๐ง๐ Viewing the pic on my tablet it looks more rusted than it does on the bench. Just imagine the rusting is not as stark, ๐ค๐ค๐ณ

Thanks guys!! Bert, yes that's my aim. The body weathering will be a challenge, I haven't attempted such a large area previously. ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ

Many thanks Ian, I need to add some lighter tones I think. Problem is most of this is hidden by the engine........keep the engine separate, on a hoist maybe? Then I would need an extension on my house.......... problems, problems ๐๐ค๐ค๐ณ

It is massive ! Any removable panels you could cut off? Maybe a wing, it would look like a repair started but never finished .

There are separate panels, it is just like the real thing in most respects. The rear wings are fitted now so a little gentle denting required but the front wings and radiator may end up inside, though this wouldn't shorten it overall. Still can't complain, it is one quality kit, especially considering its age.
