The exhaust stains I did with a dark grey, either rubber black or nato black, and super diluted it. I had half a colourcup of airbrush thinners and then a small brush full of the dark grey so it’s basically dirty thinners, and then kept going over the exhaust stain areas, drying it, going over etc until the stain is about right. Then, I 

repeated with a medium grey in exactly the same way! The paint was so diluted that you could hardly see it when you started painting it on, so takes a while!

Thanks for the hints and tips. I’m going to keep mine very light or I might even not add them. It’ll be the final stages so now at least I have a method. Thank you once again.

Hi @Val

Fantastic looking build and paintwork. As a novice I might give this a go and while looking for paints, wondered what colour you used for the bomb?

Lovely looking Lanc! The colour of Upkeep is somewhat controversial, but you just make a choice and go with it.
