Very nice. The rust is very realistic.

Tulio, I'm really surprised to see that reaction to seeing one of your "babies" look like that!:P

I agree with everyone about how good the weathering looks .. in just the right setting ... probably only a year ot two in the yard. :D

LOL!!! 

I built a rusty one some time ago. When I look at it I feel like crying :lol:

The first reaction from the good old heart is sadness, but hey, it's only plastic. 

Sad was to look at the pictures I used as reference material on how those cars get really old here in South America, what is quite different from what happens in North America with the salt factor.

Very believably distressed and weathered two-tone paint.

Doing a junker from this kit is a great way to save the half-lifetime it usually takes to fit the doors so they look and operate well too.  :D

I agree with everyone else.........VERY realistic!!  I really think that all you guys who do this kind of weathering are amazing. I could never bring myself to do it to any of my builds though. best I can force myself to do is a well maintained daily driver.
