Waiting for good weather to achieve my Scania wrecker I've started a new model. This time I'll try to detail it more. At the beginning I thought to detail the engine and the frame, but I've got some difficulties to find pics of the "plumbing" of the last one, and the few I've found show me quite a complex system. So I don't know for the frame...Maybe next time. So for the moment only "extra-plumbing" and parts were added to the original Revell Cummins NTC-475 Twin turbos. The dashboard was painted instead of using the decals on the sheet

Wow -- nice !

What color paint did you use on the exhaust pipes ? They look fantastic !

I used a kind of "dry brush" of Humbrol 85 on the lower chromed parts, and painted the inside of the exhaust pipes with the same reference.

For the parts between the engine and the exhaust pipes main color is Humbrol 56, then dry-brush with Humbrol 70 and 85.

Did I correctly answer the question ? :unsure:

Yes -- thanks !

I'm new to the whole "drybrushing" thing. Can you explain more about how you applied the Humbrol 70 and 85 after painting them with Humbrol 56?

Thanks !
