Saw a ebay seller with same stuff, seems pretty intriguing

From what i can tell its just an oxide that react and creates real rust. but because it can be "painted" on its very easy to work with from what ive worked out

im currently in process of modding my Tiger/repainting it, making it so i only have to remove the top by changing a clip somewhere so i dont have to take the tracks off to get into the insides :P

i may when i start doing more work on it, because im having the top open im gona end up taking out the battery case bit and so i only have to lift the top off to change battery and such so i wont have to turn the tank over and such.

oh btw the lil silver thing sticking out where the original aerial is, is the switch for the fan :P

back to the said topic sorry guys, this rust stuff is magic ive tried it on my Panzer III and it looks like real metal now. Will post some pics soon.
Will now apply my Tiger 1 with it. Future plan is to whitewash a Panzer IV then rust it.
Will be selling this stuff soon guys in my shop

Sounds like a good idea always been a struggle to reproduce rust that lasts I used to scrape of real rust and rub it in but it never seamed to last .effective when first applied but fadded very quickly its ok for making rust stains on paint but not to make metal look like its about to fall through.
