So after listening to your advice I've updated the model some.

I've added wheel hubs, nuts in a tray , dirtied the exhaust and corrected the mechanics boots

Again any more advice welcomed.

Small and subtle changes, but makes all the difference.

Looks great!

(i might stain the fingertips of their white gloves with a bit of black to simulate grease/dirt)

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

The gloves have a dirt wash already on them, just the flash on camera makes them appear way whiter than they already are.

Hi Steve, I used Tamiya TS-21 spray for the wheels, I don't have the instruction sheet to hand but I'm sure it was listed from what I recall.
