Nicely done! What color did you use for the dirt on the windshield?

I masked the "clean" portion of the wiper sweep pattern, and sprayed the rest with a light coat of Krylon's ColorMaster Clear Flat finish

Very nice, Mark. Commuters would call that their "station car"!!!

I typically challenge people to find 'my house' on the layout. The key is to look for the 1:43 scale blue 2013 Ford Mustang, one of the few modern automobiles on my mostly-prewar-themed layout.

A few years back I found a red Maisto model of my car, a 2013 Mustang, that I was able to dismantle and repaint. I used touchup paint out of my own repair kit to finish the model so it's the same shade of Grabber Blue as my actual 'daily driver'.

Mark - awesome job on the truck !! I had a few "station" cars over the early years and none of them looked that good.
