My research leads me to believe that this is an NP prototype and the UP probably never had a car like this.

Most of the reference photos were taken in the mid 70&#8217;s. I wanted to weather the car as it might appear in the 1986 so I added a little extra grime to get the late in life look. One particular photo that attracted my attention was UP 519120.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/rrpa_photos\/63711\/UP%20519120.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>UP 519120 rrpicturearchives.net<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I started this weathering job with an acrylic fade.

learned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Craft store acrylic fade in very faint layers work well.<\/li><li>Stippling oils worked well on the roof.<\/li><li>Tamiya Panel Line Wash works great.<\/li><li>Apply oils sparingly. I got a heavy handed and had to use lots of mineral spirits to remove them which contributed to the muddied effect).<\/li><li>Airbrush dust only to lower portion. I brushed one side pretty liberally and that really added a clouding effect.<\/li><li>Mind the decals. I started out good, but ultimately ended up muddying up the decals <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Update 5\/11\/22<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I wasn\u2019t really happy with the frosted cloudy look of this weathering job so I decided to try to strip some of the layers away. I used paper towels and cotton swabs misted with alcohol to roll back most of the weathering. I then redid the panel lines and added a light enamel grime wash. I\u2019m much happier with the appearance now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img
