I would like to duplicate the Milwaukee loco I saw at the 2016 Chicago show. It was streaked from having blacked out portions of the shell where the logos were then decaled with SOO LINE. I have the GP38 already painted in Milwaukee colors in ScaleCoat II colors. My question is how to streak the black, what paint to use, etc. Ideas Please. I tried to down load the photo but the Luddite would not let mre figure it out.
Thanks in advance.

Dick, Something like this?
Nice! Photo is squished, but still looks like a real working Diesel.
Whoa Mike, that looks great!
.... well realistic anyways.
Mike,
Is that an HO model? If it's O scale, I'd like to know where that pilot plow came from.

Jim, That's a photo of an HO scale model. 
A fellow named Damin Keenan did a SOO/MilW Weaver GP38-2. I just know this because he has a Shapeways shop with some parts for the Weaver:

Wow, fake news hits the OGR forum!
Mike, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Dick,
That being said, it would seem like you need some black patches. Then a series of washes and maybe even a little dry brush to get the bleed through paint, rust, oil and grime streaks. Did the Milwaukee units have all weather windows or did they replace a couple of the cab windows with sheet metal? That's also a neat effect depending on the era you're trying to capture.
I have a couple of all weather windows although it was used on the engineer side. In for a penny-----.
Thanks, all.
Dick
