Pravda vítězí! 😄
I really like how you toned the hull 👍
What washes did you used for the final streak touch? Artists oil colors?

Base coat was Tamiya red rattle can lacquer, then I mixed half Tamiya flat black with flat red and airbrushed on in random patches and layers. Finally I ran a thin top coat of Lifecolour German camo red/brown until I had the colour shade I wanted. All the streaks, rust and grime effects were done with Ammo MIG washes as shown in the video.

looks good, though it's like the streaking is running upwards instead of down at some places.

Funny you should say it runs upwards because that is how I brush stroked it to get the look I wanted..

If you look at real streaks on things left outside in reality they can pool at the bottom and be thin at the top.. thus the reverse brush stroke to get that effect.
