Wow the jeep looks great Jon!!!
Those Weathering Magazines seem to be very helpful; did you find Rust yet?
The flag on the jeep looks very believable and also nicely weathered!

I like the canvas top idea on the Kubelwagen, but the "canvas" texture looks a little over scaled.
Maybe a finer weave, like a piece of old thin cotton bed sheet or what ever you used for the flag.

With the top up, the Kubel has a distinct look to it....very cool! Nice camo scheme as well!!
