I can't claim much credit for this repaint as much of it is already part of the paint kit, The scratched paintwork, colours and numbers are mine, the design, the overall degraded look on the pale areas are in the paint kit already (which is great as it saved me a load of time!) I have not been able yet to reduce the gloss despite losing the alpha channel. (Thanks for the tip Chris, but alas it didn't have the desired effect)
Still, it's what I wanted, an old workhorse that trudges around The Misty Fjords.
