Guy, Boots----thanks, dudes. Added another weathering layer and used the dot-filter method for more blending and also to create streaks in the finish. I also went over the wheels with a graphite pencil to show bare metal on the wheels.

Guy, Marco---thanks gents. So did some more work on this. I did some chipping and scratches around the hatches and engine deck using both a Koh-I-Noor lead pencil and some Vallejo Dark Rubber mixed with Vallejo Smoke, applied with a sponge. After that I airbrushed on a dust filter made up of Vallejo Iraqi Sand and Rust. Next will be the pigments and mud.

Chis and scratches:

And after the dust filter:
