I am sure others have posted on the best 'rusting' tricks, but I can't locate them right now. I plan on 'rusting out' an old Tamyia PZ II kit I had stashed. I have rusted out tracks and the usual places on a number of models, but I want to really rust out this old kit. Any tips or info or locations for rusting effects would be appreciated.

Hi Mike
Try AK or MIG's weathering magazines, both have a "Rust" special, which are very usefull, and shows several techniques and products.
Hope this helps

AK does a rust set that is very very good in my opinion, it is what I have been using on this, I have painted it on over a rattle can black primer coat with a brush.

This is the main set I used, no way affiliated with the shop nor AK, simply used the site to show what i used.
