ok while in waiting for bits for me su-85 i decided i need to get this one started and at least try some rusting. thanks to bigjohn i bought this, he owes me ;D and i want to do this, with some luck ill be able to pull it off. So far i have the chassy done Was easy because its my second one of these, I prob could have robed the one thats already painted and jumped the to the body... Will have pics in a bit just waiting on the exaust to dry

Can't beat the LC rust colors Spud. They are the best match for rust that I have used. Looking forward to those pics bro

The darker rust is a perfect match for old rust, and by mixing with the other shades you get even more rust tones from the four in the set. I am using the dark rust for the chipping on the M51 right now
