The exhaust staining is magic, well done overall.

Talking of the exhaust staining John, as said it looks very realistic. Would you like to tell us how this was achived.

Thanks fellas! The exhaust staining was airbrushed in two steps by using heavily thinned brown and brown+black. Using Tamiya Acrylics and iso alcohol as thinner, my paint:thinner ratio is about 1:4... very watery. Since it is so watery, it is essential to use very light (reduced air pressure), repeated strokes to build up the effect. Brown first and then the brown+black in a narrower area to leave a lighter brown edge to the stain.
