Beautiful build! :thumbsup:
The weathering is very nicely done! :)

Wow that's an amazing build. Great job on the weathering.

Seems like you have a rust issue..:naughty:

Nice work.

Looks perfectly grungy....
I especially like how the hood/fender gap looks to be no longer straight. Looks like a lot of abuse.

Also, really, really like the way the rear springs are sagging and sad.

Incredible work.

Great looking model! Has a truly well worn, aged look to it...great work!

Incredible work.

Actually, the hood is not fixed to the body on this kind of kit, as you can see on the precedent photos, there are no hinge to attach it....

I just remarked it now, all photos I posted have about same gap between the hood and fender, but now model is exposed with correct fitting hood and fender...

Anyway, thanks to everybody for your comments, the weathering treatment is quite simple, some instant rust (I bought the correct product in comparison with my porsche 356 and now get some good results) and some tamiya weathering stick...

thanks everybody and see you on my next project

bye
