And the weathering on the Rufe-just perfect!

I once lusted after a Superbee in that same color! It was a '69 or '70 iirc.

I took some Tamiya JA Green and thinned it with some Tamiya Retarder -- probably 1:3 ratio. Then I just took a round size '0' brush and started dotting on paint in the shape I wanted for the individual splotch and then the paint dots would join together. It took me a 4 or 5 sessions to finish the paint job as hand cramping was an issue, so you had to know when to stop and come back tomorrow...
