Most of the back end is assembled, still need to mount some radius rods and exhaust attachment springs. Maybe tomorrow.
Exhausts came out rather well.

Needs quite a few touch ups...water line couplings especially.

Thanks Harv. I laid satin black baselayer, painted the ends polished alu, then took few different hues of alu and steel (including excellent xtracolor oily steel) and used sponge method for uneven look, them sponged some rust on and humbrol baltic blue matallic paint. Most "chips" were blended in with qtip. All that was flat coated and as final step some Tamiya pastels from their D weathering master. In short; Sponge the chips on and smear with qtip.
