That's a 1934 but hey nice job anyway. If you want a challenge try the AMT '32 Phaeton, makes the '34 seem like a piece of cake. I grew up with these models so they're pretty simple for me.

Blackwash can be done with water and acrylics. I use Testors "water wash-up" acrylics. Dip the tip of the brush in the paint, dip it in water and squeeze the paint out. Keep dipping/squeezing until the paint is almost clear. Then with the brush wet just run it across the grille and the paint will flow between the grille bars. Since water obviously doesn't stick very well compared to paint it may take a few applications. Takes practice to determine the "dip/squeeze to color" ratio but it's easy to wipe off if you screw up.

I have both kits in my projects folder, click the link in my sig if you're interested.
