Great application of weathering pigments. The pictures of the engine compartment, interior and rear bay/fuel cell all show the effect of racing in the desert. Very realistic. What a great project!

Thanks Pierre, I am happy with the Tamiya grey/yellow dusting to simulate road dust...now we wait for decals to show up from STS decals and I can continue on the body weathering.

STS decals came through with some really nice stuff...dipped in warm water and almost instantly ready to slide

Colours are brilliant and nice sharp demarcation..very happy and well worth the wait.

Just need to scratch up a shovel and a jack, do a bit of weathering, and she'll be going under glass.
