Thank you all for the comments. However it looks like I goofed for the stowage bags color. What I took for a sand color could just be sand over a camoed fabric. I have to confirm that before going on with the weathering.

Here are some more pictures. The bags have been painted in a darker tone and got several washes to look more dirty. I’m close to the end.

Excellent job there and great scratch skills!
Thank you for the comment.

It turns nicely Olivier, maybe the tires are too much earth brown covered.
Thank you Stephane. For the tires I decided to represent heavy weathered ones like on the following picture.

Olivier, are you sure that image isn’t just your finished kit and you’ve taken it outside to fool us with a natural shot under the sun … Tyres look perfect
Can’t be the same one John. Olivier actually inflated his…
Peerless Olivier, simply peerless.
Olivier, somehow I missed this topic until today. You’ve done some excellent scratch building and detailing. The finish and weathering are very nice. Scratching / detailing an interior like this is a very time consuming enterprise. Congratulations for tackling it and getting these excellent results.

Thank you Rick. I still need to add a bit more dust on the registration plates and it’ll be finished.
I really had fun finding the good references to improve the interior. I know it’s not 100% accurate but it’s better than the Heller rendition of the interior.
If you don’t intend to show the interior the kit is not a bad one. Unfortunately it’s going harder and harder to find.
Olivier
top level job
thank you to share with us your experience!
Sharing experience is the gist of a modeling forum.
