Ya I used to build WWII Aircraft and armor, so I'm pretty familiar weathering them. Crush up pastels and 'paint' the dust onto the model, spinkle some like mineral spirts on there get some good looking runs and what not. Some came out halfway decent, others came out like crap. But the crappy ones I could always destroy and make a blown up tank or crashed plane.
