Your welcome,as for the paint,whole loco flat humbrol black,then lettering & numbers applied,the rust and some oil stains in satin black,then humbrol rattle can 29 dark earth lightly over the top more to the bottom,(the light I took the pics in gives a false grey tint,the light was fading on a damp evening),any wet or water then applied last with gloss and satin varnish,somewhere on here way back in time is the method i use,air brush should work just as wellJust one thing more,plow on otto is removable and normal pilot is visible.
