Thanks! Honestly I just kind of winged it. The parts that are rusty were done with the Sophisticated Finishes rust set. It's a 2 step process. You paint the area you want rusted with an iron solution, then paint it with a bluish watery substance that actually rusts it.
Everything else was done with these. Most of what you see is the orange rust. The seats have the gray, which I think does a good job replicating aged vinyl. All off the engine parts are covered in the oil stain, along with the inside of the windows.
And, of course, a good old brown/black wash on everything.
I purchased this set a while ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M66FM86/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've been very happy with them and the results I get from them. It's also a nice selection of colors/tones, though of course you can just buy one of the cases instead of this entire set to save money.
I use this on my Gunpla and have gotten some great results.

Yes, I use Tamiya weathering kits (the kit with burnt red and oil stain is good for droids/ships and the kit with sand/mud works well for troopers)

In terms of how to paint them, I would do Mephiston Red → Evil Sunz Scarlet → Wild Rider Red with Carroburg Crimson shade for the armor and then do a standard Citadel gold progression for the trim. After that I would recommend using weathering powders and standard "chipped" armor techniques. Good luck!!
You should get one of Tamiya's weathering kits. This list all of the sets but you can buy each one individualy based on what kind of weathering you want.
I also bought Tamiya weathering material. I'm really excited!
As far as weathering goes, these will do wonders: https://www.amazon.com/TAMIYA-Weathering-Master-6-Sets-Japan/dp/B00M66FM86
Super easy to use and look great.
What is the best set of things to start out with weathering? For instance, is this a good set? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M66FM86/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1XI8QH3DQRFDA&colid=3BT0B9K6OKTMQ
What are good brushes or other items I would need to weather my sets? Thanks a lot!
