All the weathering has been completed. Started with a salt effect varnish and then some subtle diluted enamel hydraulic fluid. Then a bit of muck, a dry brush and some soot. I'm particularly happy with the heat deflector plates which started as airbrushed bright aluminium, polished with dark steel powder, enamel washes and then soot exhaust effect.

As a first proper weathering attempt it's probably a little heavy for the scale and the era, but I like it.

Lovely job Chris. A very hard worked mount as shown by the well executed weathering.
