Maybe door and panel lines and behind the door handles. And inside the vents? in the last picture.

Hi Rod.

I agree with Joel and KSO in that I automatically apply some exhaust discolouration and panel line washes to the engine and body panels of all of my builds now. I have also started to use the Tamiya weathering pastels to give the tyres a bit of wear and fading.


A combination of these techniques can really make your model pop, and then you can consider whether you want to start applying some mud or dirt and chipping to the bodywork.

D,
those raised letter truck tires are simply amazing. I just gotta order that Tamiya Weathering set from Sprue Brothers ASAP.
