The assembled and painted engine is quite a jewel. It was base-coated in Dark Blue, then washed with mixtures of Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna, and flat Black oils. Note the burnt metal on the exhaust collector, and the fuel and oil stains. Overall metallizing was done by dry-brushing a dark metallic mixture of Raw Umber oils and Silver printer's ink. After assembly, the interior was base-coated with an off-white, washed with Burnt Umber oils, and dry-brushed with Flat White. The floor was airbrushed with Humbrol matt 66 olive Drab, washed with mixtures of Raw Umber, burnt Sienna, and Flat Black oils, then dry-brushed with a mixture of Humbrol matt 159 and Yellow. Note the fuel and oil stains and chipped paint on the floor. The radio was detailed with wiring and car eful hand-painted stencilling. To simulate worn leather, the seats were painted Flat Black and dry brushed with Burnt Sienna. The engine compartment was weathered with local washes to simulate fuel & oil stains and rust streaks. The fan shrouds were dry-brushed with darkened silver printer's ink to simulate chipped paint. The intercom boxes in the forward compartment were wired with copper wire. Note the stowed maps & equipment.
