Hi Mr D. Before clear coat, I did a little post shading with slightly lighter colours in middle of the panels, just a small amount with low pressure air brush and more thinned paint. After clear coat I used Flory Models.co.uk weathering wash for panel lines. You can also use AK Interactive or Tamiya panel line washes they too work great. Flory is clay based and allows me to control the level of wash I leave on the panel themselves, not just in the panel lines. Once dry, model gets a Matt coat. Then I use some oils to add weathering in highly used areas of upper surfaces and dirt/mud/ dust near wheels on lower surfaces. I use thinner just damp brush to blend in. I find Matt "grips" the blended oils better. Hope that is of some help Mr D. Note, I'm still very much learning each new model that I tackle.

Mr D
Many thanks Henry 😃👍.
I'm going to try the pre-shading next time, but will do panel lines n wash this time...see how l get on, l got the AK panel wash... now, it's seems to easily rub away tany excess once dry.... I got some oil paints too so will have ago at some weathering .
Thanks for the tips and advice...much appreciated 👍👍

Thank you Mr James for your kind words.I think I must've watched that YouTube video like 20 times or more before I tackled my model. You never know how you will go until you try. Lucky I did not mess it up 😊
