here is my attempt at air brush weathering a TSBY RTR GP35 by athearn. any suggestions would be apprecitated. First unweathered:  then weathered:    I forgot to take before pics of 394 so I used 389 as an unweathered example. |

That looks pretty good to me.
If you want to dull the colors down a little you can overspray the entire model with a blackwash (kind of mutes all the colors). Its around a 10-1 mixture of black paint to water (or thinner if not a water based paint). Just spray a very light coat with an airbrush about 12" away from the model. You don't want to over do it, a very light coat on the model goes a long way.
But it also looks fine the way it is.

OK, I think I might try that black wash. What about useing a light grey to fade the paint proir to adding the dirt colors. I wasn't sure how that would work so I went right to the dirt. Thanks

I've used light gray to make the paint appear faded, works pretty good. Just go with light coats, I've ruined a few cars that I went a little too heavy on.

Excellent job Kyle, I would agree with the others, you need to fade the colors and then hit it with the weathering. I use cheap acrylic paint from wal-mart or any craft store, I would mix yellow with white in water you want it very transparent and then apply over the entire engine in thin coats allowing time to dry between them until you get a good fade.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am hoping to weather 389, my other TSBY unit, soon. I think 394 turned out ok but I am hoping to do even better this time. Thanks again.

I like how it turned out - certainly very well for brush weathering.

From toy to model! There is a narrow strip which appears shiny along the top edge of the long hood where it meets the blower housing intake grill on the engineer's (right) side. You may want to consider adding a little more weathering to that strip to take down the shine.
Kyle, you've made your model look better! Nice work. Thanks for posting.
