After some time little progress...I have finished engines.
My improvements: I have made completely new engines, I used paper and wire. I sprayed them matte black color, finally I used the grey dry pastel on getting patina ...

Thanx,
After some time I will add some photos. I decided that the whole model I will dye. On the hull I used putty and grinded it (several times), then I sprayed the basic color. I'll spray on it the upper color, and then comes the patina.
My improvements:A fully sprayed hull and a reworked bottom of the bike.

The hull I sprayed the tint RAL8004-brown copper, "chassis" is sprayed RAL9005M-black matte, finally, it is all sprayed matt varnish, then I used the black and gray dry pastel, On the scratch and wear I made using the colors of the Revell 91.
