Military Indian Motorcycle

A 1/6 scale Military Indian Motorcycle (according to the box).  It looks like it just came out of a showroom, I want to make it look "loved".

Only one thus far.  Camo came out of the box with the model, I just put it together.  I'm going to do the buckles, need to make sure the paint will stick proper.

I set up some acrylic wash (80% thinner, 20% flat black) and hit the engine, spokes, chain and pedals, but I need to do more.  Yeah, the saddlebag needs to be stressed some.....

I would repaint the whole thing in OD Green.  I don't think any were camo in WWII. Also, from all WWII pics and restored items, none had the Indian head on the front fender either.
