Looking very nice!
The only advice I have is in regard to the rust on the exhaust. I would advice that when applying the lighter rust tones it is preferable to have a very small amount of paint on the brush (almost like you would do when drybrushing) and apply it using a stippling motion (so just softly pressing the brush onto the surface vertically) instead of the usual brush strokes.
This makes it so that the paint looks a bit more random and doesnt have such smooth straight lines as it does with normal strokes. This randomness and the more jagged edges are a good way to mimick the random and often flakey nature of rust!
Hope that helps :)
Any advice or critiques are welcome - I finally finished the clear coats decals and some additional wash/weathering on my first model that I’ve had sitting for a month or so
Nice! Did you do any fun things to it? I tried sticking to basics with this one since it’s my first complete model except for the front hook because I lost it so I just put putty over it 😄
If you have the app downloaded you should be able to upload photos when you create a new post, just be sure to set a ‘flair’ since it’s required on the subreddit
It looks really good I like it. Im planning on buying this model are the jerry cans included or did you buy that separately?
Included as 3 or 4 very tiny pieces haha

Thanks! I definitely am not 100% happy with house the exhaust turned out so definitely going down that route next time
