    Unfortunately Polux it's dry , I wonder if a dry brush just to give it some depth and then a very weak rust wash so it discolours the shiny bits

              I'm sure tamiya do a 1/24 F1 pit crew? They're just mechanic figures in overalls, so they'd probably look ok.

              My mistake, it's a rally crew [ATTACH]85433.IPB[/ATTACH]

                      Final update for this project

                      This is a good kit to build not much wrong with it really iff you take into account how old it is , no major fit issues and my biggest problem was the fuselage , it was twisted towards the tail plane and the front dipped butt superglue sorted that out [ATTACH]85519.IPB[/ATTACH]

                        Andy well done mate this is a beauty and a nice size too, I like how you have left the covers off of the gun bays and engine, this looks really nice.
