Try MIG black smoke Pigment mixed with alcohol fast and easy with great results (plus you get great exhaust detail and muzzle residue with that MIG shade)...also I have used Vallejo - Black Wash #73201 and thinned burnt umber...experiment!
The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.
