Looks about 800% better than the Trumpeter parts. Love seeing the work, and will definitely improve both the look and sit of the Tomcat when you're done

[Fancherello]

thank you very much for your kind comments

 

here's now some painting. 

legs have been weathered with some grey/green grime near wheels and brakes, more sand/cream hue on top of them.

I did my best to force myself into taking as much part of the scale as possible on wheels to and tried to give some texture on tyre treads by building up a rough surface with acryl dabbed with a sponge foam. Tyre sides have been brushed with an iron pencil/brush to try and repilcate the fabric shine that can be seen on pics. I set a ssatin to gloss shine in the grooves to replicate the wax that often keep shiny there.

My Daco book showed so brownish grime on tyres so it's the shade i chose ( but many other colors could have been picked, though)
