Wow, that looks great. If you wouldn't mind, how did you achieve the weathering and paint chipping effect? The wood looks realistic aswell, atleast IMO.
Thanks,

General finish for this model went as follows:
1)Basecoat of dark gray, then post-shading with a lighter gray. Once cured, an overall 'dusting' of very light gray.
2)First round of chipping was performed with Tamiya Nato Black, using the sponge method - you basically dip the coarse part of a dish sponge into the paint, wisk most of it off, then apply to model, very gradually, as its very easy and quick to over-do this. Some areas were chipped with a fine brush.
3)Filter applied using the 'oil-dot-method', with a variety of shades. When dried, some very light rainstreaks added using very thin Tamiya Buff. After about 1 minutes, most of the rain streaking was removed.
4) Fine detail painting, and slight drybrushing (using light gray) of raised nuts, rivets, raised edges, etc
5) Overall wash, followed by detail wash.
6) Track weathering and pigments to lower hull.
